Distributed backpressure helps manage the flow of work between services to prevent overload.

API Gateway, Proxy, and Load Balancer serve different roles in managing requests and traffic in systems.

The Bulkhead Pattern isolates resources to protect critical workloads from failures.

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

Distributed locks ensure only one server performs a task, avoiding duplication.

A reverse proxy routes client requests to different backend services efficiently.

Partial failure means some services fail while others keep running, impacting system reliability.

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

Service Discovery helps microservices locate each other dynamically without fixed IP addresses.

Message queues allow services to communicate asynchronously, improving scalability and reliability.

FAANG engineers use high-level design principles to create scalable systems.
