 ## Design Rationale
->Explain the goals of this design and how the design achieves these goals. Present alternatives considered and document why they are not chosen.

 * Correctness:
   * The catalog service ensures data consistency and correctness by adhering to the Iceberg Catalog REST interface.
   * Data durability mechanisms will be implemented to prevent data loss during restarts.

   * Chose the Iceberg Catalog REST interface due to its industry adoption, standardization, and compatibility with various systems.
 
 ## Testing Plan
->How should the component be tested?

   * Scalability test: We will try to test our implementation under increased load and ensure the correctness and efficiency at the same time.
 
 ## Trade-offs and Potential Problems
->Write down any conscious trade-off you made that can be problematic in the future, or any problems discovered during the design process that remain unaddressed (technical debts).
