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

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

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

Timeouts in distributed systems indicate suspicion, not confirmed failure.

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

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

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

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

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

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