What is the Client-Server architecture pattern?

The Client-Server architecture pattern is a computing model in which the client sends a request to the server, and the server responds with the required data or resources. In this pattern, the server provides centralized services, while the client requests and consumes these services.

The client-server architecture pattern has two main components:

1) The client, which is the user-facing component that sends requests to the server and displays the results to the user.

2) The server, which is the back-end component that receives the requests, processes them, and returns the results to the client.

This pattern is commonly used in web applications, where the client is the user's browser, and the server is a web server that hosts the web application. The client-server architecture pattern is also used in many other applications, such as email servers, file servers, and database servers.
