Web(HTTP) Service Inside

From Claude with some prompting
This image titled “Web Service Inside” illustrates the internal workings of a web service in 8 steps, from the browser to service design:

  1. <Domain> to <IP address>: Converts user-friendly domain names into computer-readable IP addresses. This process utilizes multi-level caching for efficiency and ultimately locates the desired web server.
  2. IP routing: Guides data packets to their destination via optimal paths based on the converted IP address. This ensures accurate and efficient information delivery across the complex network of the internet.
  3. HTTP REQ/RES: Defines the communication rules between clients and servers. It structures how clients make requests and how servers respond, providing a standardized method for exchanging information on the web.
  4. SSL/TLS & HTTP3: Enhances data transmission security and improves performance. It protects information through encryption and enables faster, more efficient communication using the latest protocols.
  5. HTTP Caching & CDN: Increases efficiency for repetitive data requests and delivers content to users faster. This plays a crucial role in reducing server load and improving user experience.
  6. Server Side Works: Involves the actual processing of requests and generation of responses on the server. It covers operating systems, network protocols, and resource management to provide an efficient and stable service foundation.
  7. Service Internal Works: Addresses the internal structure and data processing methods of web services. It covers database management, load balancing, and maintaining high availability to provide reliable service to large-scale user bases.
  8. Service Design: Encompasses the overall architecture and operational strategy of the web service. It involves creating optimal service structures considering user requirements, scalability, and maintainability, as well as establishing continuous improvement and monitoring plans.

Each of these stages is essential in creating a web service that efficiently and securely handles user requests, while building a system that is scalable and easy to maintain at a large scale.
