Basic Distributed Systems Concepts
Overview of latency, throughput, concurrency, reliability, time, idempotency, and CAP/PACELC trade‑offs in distributed systems.
Overview of latency, throughput, concurrency, reliability, time, idempotency, and CAP/PACELC trade‑offs in distributed systems.
Clear definitions, interactions, and practical tuning to hit latency SLOs without sacrificing throughput.
Master patterns that transform inevitable failures into graceful degradation. Timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and more.
Master the foundation of resilience: timeouts prevent resource exhaustion, retries recover from transient failures, exponential backoff prevents overwhelming, jitter prevents thundering herd.
