Explore resilient architecture patterns and chaos engineering methodologies in this comprehensive conference talk. Learn how modern software systems embrace failure instead of avoiding it, enhancing observability and leveraging techniques like graceful degradation, timeouts, and circuit breakers. Discover the benefits of intentionally breaking systems to build more resilient architectures. Dive into complex systems, partial failure modes, availability concepts, and AWS infrastructure. Examine workload isolation, cascading failures prevention, cell-based architectures, and shuffle sharding. Understand auto-scaling for self-healing, decoupling with async patterns, and traffic prioritization. Master essential practices such as setting timeouts, implementing backoff strategies, and designing idempotent operations. Explore health check types, service degradation techniques, and database optimization strategies. Gain insights into chaos engineering principles and their application in creating robust, fault-tolerant systems.
