Now, one of the things that we need to consider is what is the method or the mode that we will use to write data to the database? And there are two ways of doing it. We could do it synchronously or asynchronously. Now, at human scale we can think of those enterprise applications like the back office applications. And I typically think of the database as the bottom of the application stack. So you might have a database at the bottom and on top of that, you have application logic and business logic. And on top of that, you have the user interface mechanisms. The application is the actual layer or the…
