Hello Guys This week I explored some very new concepts to me such as Embedded databases. I was always confused about how node writes data to the disk. Since file reads are slow, they can't be using that. And I don't think we would directly writing bytes to it. So I thought about Databases. But not sure which one. And as part of exploring the design choices of `ream` client and during the `Consensus Layer Architecture` from EPF Study Group videos, I see that there's a different classification called Emebedded DBs and `SQLite` (which I knew from django) is not just for development purposes. And also explored the concept of persistent Data Structures and why are they used in the CL. Apart from these I also started exploring the beacon API endpoints. ### Next steps: - Disc Protocol for node discovery - Beacon API endpoints implementation in Lighthouse
