Client and Server

Hello,

In this blog, I'm going to explain what is a Client and Server in software architecture.
Client:
In client-server architecture, a client can be a device or a program. A client device is a machine that the end users use to access the server over internet. Some examples of devices are Desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets.

Server:

A server is a device that provides services to client requests. A single server can provide services to multiple clients simultaneously. Usually, servers run continuously. There can be multiple servers in a single machine. It is also possible to have the client and the server in the same machine.

The Difference:

The main difference between client and server is that a client is a machine or a program that requests for services through the web while a server is a machine or a program that provides services to the clients according to the client’s requests.

This validation is carried out by the end-users who are familiar with the business requirements.      UAT...
