Visual checkpoint

Use this diagram to locate the state and failure boundaries tested by the questions. Answer all five questions before revealing feedback; the result is a study checkpoint rather than a certification.

Browser → DNS resolver (resolve name); Browser → Edge / CDN (HTTPS request); Edge / CDN → API origin (cache miss); API origin → Database (query); Private cache rules → Edge / CDN (constrain caching) — Scroll to inspect the diagram, or open it at full size.

Review your reasoning

After checking answers, identify the incorrect assumption behind each missed question. Rewrite it as a rule with a concrete exception or failure case, then return to the lesson.
