Designing for Failure: Building Resilient Systems

# Designing for Failure: Building Resilient Systems In distributed systems, failure is not a possibility—it's a certainty. The question is: how will your system respond? ## The Fallacies of Distributed Computing The network is reliable. Latency is zero. Bandwidth is infinite. All of these are wrong... ## Circuit Breaker Pattern Stop cascading failures before they take down your entire system... ## Graceful Degradation When services fail, show cached data instead of errors. Disable non-critical features gracefully... ## Chaos Engineering Intentionally breaking things to build confidence in your system's resilience...
