A stateless architecture means that each request from a client to a server is independent. The server does not remember any previous requests.
Every request must contain all necessary information (like authentication data and parameters), because the server treats each request as if it comes for the first time. Example: Think of a REST API. Every GET or POST request must include information like who you are and what you want. Even if the server responded to your previous request, it won't remember it for the next one. ✅Benefits: The server becomes scalable, as it doesn’t store user sessions. Load balancing is easier. The system is faster, simpler, and easier to maintain.
