🌐 The protocols and patterns connecting every system you build

Every web request, API call, and database query travels through a network. This category covers protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP, WebSockets, and gRPC, alongside concepts like DNS resolution, load balancing, TLS handshakes, and network latency. Understanding how data moves between systems is essential for building reliable, performant distributed applications.
