Large-scale distributed systems are computer networks composed of numerous independent nodes that work together to achieve a common goal. These systems operate across multiple machines, often geographically dispersed, communicating to coordinate their actions. They are designed for high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability, handling vast amounts of data and user requests. Blockchain networks are a prominent example of such systems.
