Cascading failures occur when one service's failure impacts others, causing widespread issues.

Dependency failures can disrupt applications, but resilience patterns can help manage them.

Fallbacks allow systems to handle failures safely and maintain user experience.

Crash failures stop a service, while network failures disrupt communication.

A Circuit Breaker helps prevent system failures by stopping calls to unhealthy services.

Late-arriving events can be dropped, updated, or routed based on system needs.

Exponential backoff helps manage retries by increasing wait times to reduce system overload.

RPC allows one service to call a function in another service over the network.

Timeouts in distributed systems indicate suspicion, not confirmed failure.

Load shedding helps systems reject excess requests to maintain performance during high demand.
