What is Stateless and Stateful in digital communication

What is Stateless and  Stateful  in brief : It is a style of communication between client and server at high level. If you go a bit deeper, it is actually defined based on how an interaction state (status and related data) between two parties(client & server) are maintained. Stateless Stateless systems do not maintain any information about previous interactions. Each request is treated as an independent transaction. Characteristics of Stateless Systems: Independence : Every request from a client to a server is independent.  No Memory : The server doesn’t store any information about the client’s previous requests.  Simplicity : Stateless systems are generally simpler and more scalable because the server doesn’t need to manage or store state information between requests. Advantages of Statelessness: Scalability : Easier to scale because there’s no need to manage state information across multiple servers. Reliability : Less prone to errors related to managing...
