Linux terms
The operating system underneath almost everything in production
Linux runs the servers, containers, and cloud instances that power most production software. This category covers shell commands, file systems, process management, permissions, networking tools, cron jobs, and the system internals that every backend developer benefits from understanding. Knowing your way around Linux is not optional when something breaks at 2am.
cgroups — Linux Control Groups
A Linux kernel feature that groups processes and meters or limits their access to CPU, memory, I/O, network, and other resources — the core primitive that makes Docker, systemd, and Kubernetes resource limits possible.

Memory-Mapped Files
A file mapped directly into a process's virtual address space — reads and writes go through the OS page cache rather than read()/write() syscalls, enabling fast access to large files and shared memory between processes.
