Why cross method of multiplication or vedic method of multiplication works?

It is evident the truth remains eternal even though you have many ways to reach it.

With that quote .. So one perspective of the famous vedic method of multiplication can be broken down as follows:

let there be two 2 digit numbers  , say       12     and  21   , so writing with their place values, we get (10+2)  and (20+1)  , so if we watch the operation we do in (a+b)(c+d)  is  ac+ad+bc+bd , the same holds good for any numbers. The application of  (a+b)^2 for square of a number is also a simplified version of the above notion.


SO the cross multiplication method isn't that spooky , right?

Event Sourcing with CQRS.

  The way event sourcing works with CQRS is to have  part of the application that models updates as writes to an event log or Kafka topic . This is paired with an event handler that subscribes to the Kafka topic, transforms the event (as required) and writes the materialized view to a read store.

GraphQL microservices (GQLMS)

I'm curios of GraphQL !     -  GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL was developed internally by Facebook in 2012 before being publicly released in 2015. It should be solving a problem in querying data !     -GraphQL lets you ask for what you want in a single query, saving bandwidth and reducing waterfall requests. It also enables clients to request their own unique data specifications. A case study ?!    -https://netflixtechblog.com/beyond-rest-1b76f7c20ef6 So, This is just another database technoloy ?  -  No. GraphQL is often confused with being a database technology. This is a misconception, GraphQL is a   query language   for APIs - not databases. In that sense it’s database agnostic and can be used with any kind of database or even no database at all.
