Explore architectural patterns for building resilient distributed systems in this conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into the concept of resilience as the ability of systems to adapt or continue functioning during challenges. Learn about decomposing systems into independently tolerant subsystems, providing strong consistency only where necessary, and utilizing orthogonal mechanisms. Examine insights from Cook's model of engineering resilience, focusing on mentoring, responding, adapting, and learning. Discover the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to system resilience. Follow the evolution of a purging system, including the use of Bimodal Multicast for fast purging speeds. Investigate design concerns, system evolution, and the role of testing in building resilient systems. Gain insights into versioning, upgrades, and mixed-mode operations for evolving systems. Understand the correlation between resiliency and testing, and the importance of providing upgrade paths from the beginning. Read more
