  • Batch = grouped, easy control totals, not current; real-time = immediate, needs stronger access/logging
  • Relational DB: primary key + foreign key; referential integrity prevents orphan records
  • ACID: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability

  • IaaS → PaaS → SaaS: customer manages progressively less
  • Shared responsibility: customer always owns its data, access provisioning, vendor oversight
