👉 Checkpointing is a process where an application or system periodically checks for changes in data and updates its state accordingly. This allows for quick detection of errors, such as missing data or incorrect values, which can prevent crashes or other issues that might otherwise occur during normal operation. Checkpointing is typically used in distributed systems to ensure that only the most recent state information is available to users, reducing the risk of unexpected changes in data and potentially leading to a more stable and reliable system.
