Have you ever wondered how cloud systems know which event happened first — when there's no shared global clock?
Or how modern tools like DynamoDB and Zookeeper stay consistent despite network delays and failures?

In this episode of TechSnap, we dive into one of the most subtle but critical challenges in distributed computing: synchronization.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why time synchronization matters for correctness & fairness
✅ The logic behind Lamport Timestamps and Vector Clocks
✅ Real-world use cases in production systems

This is not just theory — it’s foundational knowledge for anyone working with data engineering, distributed systems, or cloud platforms.

Let me know what you think — your feedback helps shape the next episodes.
And as always: learning tech doesn’t have to take forever. Just a few focused minutes can make a difference! 💡
