Stuck? Show a way to structure it+
- 01State the contract and the key invariant for Distributed Storage
- 02Clarify workload and consistency
- 03Partition keys
- 04Replicate across failure domains
- 05Choose read/write quorum behavior
- 06Validate the result against boundary cases and state routing is O(1) or O(log n); aggregate capacity is bounded by bottlenecks
