 Stateless Vs Stateful
• Stateless:- Client is independently responsible
for its actions, server doesn’t track set of
clients or ensure that cached data stays up to
date

• Stateful:- Server tracks its clients, takes actions

to keep their cached states “current”. Client
can trust its cached data.
