Architecture Corner Newsletter Podcast - When system failures are inevitable, the key isn't preventing them but designing around them. Today we explore practical strategies that keep your applications running when dependencies fail, without breaking the bank on complex infrastructure.
In this episode we will cover:
- Implementing graceful degradation patterns to maintain service during dependency failures
- Using circuit breakers and fallback mechanisms to deliver acceptable user experiences
- Moving critical operations to asynchronous flows to eliminate cascading failures
- Identifying application dependencies through BPMN documentation and APM tools
- Building a degradation scorecard to evaluate which services can operate with default behaviors
- Real-world examples from e-commerce scenarios including fraud detection and payment processing
- When to consider more advanced solutions like disaster recovery and active-active setups
