Architecture Patterns & Concepts
Reference guide for common architecture patterns including bounded contexts, sagas, outbox pattern, circuit breakers, bulkheads, sidecars, and service mesh.
Reference guide for common architecture patterns including bounded contexts, sagas, outbox pattern, circuit breakers, bulkheads, sidecars, and service mesh.
Design highly available systems with redundancy, failover, and graceful degradation.
Master bulkhead isolation: separate resource pools for different services to contain failures and prevent resource starvation.
Essential optimization patterns: caching for latency, batching for throughput, queueing for resilience.
Master the circuit breaker pattern: stop sending requests to failing services, prevent cascades, and recover gradually.
Comprehensive guide to cloud-native architectures, compute models, orchestration, networking, and deployment topologies
Layer defenses so breaching one doesn't compromise the system
Single-region, multi-region, active-active, active-passive, and disaster recovery patterns
Backup strategies, RPO/RTO, PITR, and failover testing for business continuity
Master distributed systems architecture, communication patterns, and resilience strategies for building scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
Design robust error handling strategies that fail gracefully and guide users to recovery.
Degrade features rather than fail completely; use kill switches to disable features during incidents.
TL;DR
Geographic redundancy patterns, consistency trade-offs, and traffic routing
Every inter-service communication is synchronous, creating blocking dependencies and reducing resilience.
Understand how network partitions cascade through systems, failure detection strategies, and how to design for graceful degradation.
TL;DR
Master patterns that transform inevitable failures into graceful degradation. Timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and more.
Proactively test system behavior under failure by deliberately injecting failures to improve resilience and MTTR.
Deploy across multiple availability zones within a single region for high availability, fault tolerance, and synchronous data consistency without multi-region latency penalties.
