The modern distributed system, with its intricate web of microservices, third-party APIs, and ephemeral resources, operates under a fundamental truth: failure is not an exception, but an inevitability. Whether it is a transient network glitch, a data...
Navigating the complexities of enterprise cloud migration demands a robust strategy, particularly concerning fault tolerance and business continuity. Moving vast amounts of critical data and applications from one cloud environment to another, or from...
Fault tolerance in distributed systems refers to the ability of a system to continue operating correctly even when some components experience failures. In distributed environments, failures often occur because of issues like single points of failure,...
When we talk about container orchestration in production, high availability is not a “nice to have” — it’s a necessity. Imagine you have a single manager node in your Docker Swarm cluster, and it goes down. Without redundancy, your orchestration lay...
In our previous article, we set up a Docker Swarm cluster on AWS EC2 with a master-slave architecture. Now, let’s push things further into the real-world What happens when: A container crashes? A node goes down? Traffic suddenly spikes? That’s ...
Excerpt from the Correctional Code / Clearance Level: 1A | Public Awareness: Suppressed In the year 2143, after the narrative collapse caused by the so-called Resonance Syndrome, the government introduced the Public Self-Correction Program. It was ac...
In the past, most applications were built as monoliths. The biggest concern then was something like a power outage taking down the whole system. But modern applications have evolved today, most are built using microservices, running in complex enviro...
Whether you’re building a simple web app or a large distributed system, users don’t just expect it to work → they want it to be fast, always available, secure, and to run smoothly without unexpected interruptions. These expectations are captured in w...
Cloud systems are the backbone of modern business, but as they grow, so does the pressure. Ensuring your infrastructure can handle surging demand while remaining consistently reliable isn't just a technical challenge—it's a business imperative. When ...
In this guide, you will learn about the most crucial design patterns for migrating a monolith application into a microservices architecture. These patterns include: API Gateway Pattern: Instead of exposing each microservice's API endpoints, create a...
