+A "single point of failure", in a system or organization, if it were to fail would cause the entire system to fail or significantly disrupt it's operation. In other words, it is a vulnerability where there

+A "3-Tier Architecture" is a pattern used in software development for designing and structuring applications. It divides the application into 3 interconnected layers: Presentation, Business logic and Data storage.  
+PROS: 
+* Scalability
+* Security
+* Reusability

+* Complexity

+In a Mono-repo, all the code for an organization is stored in a single,centralized repository.
+PROS (Mono-repo):
+* Unified tooling
+* Code Sharing
+CONS (Mono-repo):
+* Increased complexity
+* Slower cloning
+
+In a Multi-repo setup, each component is stored in it's own separate repository. Each repository has it's own version control history.
+PROS (Multi-repo):
+* Simpler to manage
+* Different teams and developers can work on different parts of the project independently, making parallel development easier.
+CONS (Multi-repo):
+* Code duplication
+* Integration challenges

-[This article](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/microservices/what-is-a-service-mesh) provides a great explanation.

 <summary>Explain "Loose Coupling"</summary><br><b>
+In "Loose Coupling", components of a system communicate with each other with a little understanding of each other's internal workings. This improves scalability and ease of modification in complex systems.

 <summary>What is a message queue? When is it used?</summary><br><b>
+It is a communication mechanism used in distributed systems to enable asynchronous communication between different components. It is generally used when the systems use a microservices approach.
