Architecting for Application Requirements: Understanding SLAs and Resiliency

Explore a comprehensive video tutorial on architecting applications to meet specific requirements. Learn to analyze application needs, identify potential failure points, and design robust architectures at both infrastructure and application levels. Discover key concepts such as service SLAs, bulkhead thinking, composite SLAs, and various resiliency options. Delve into application architecture improvements, including bulkheads, alternate paths, database considerations, decoupling, and caching. Master advanced techniques like circuit breaking and leaking buckets, and gain insights into best practices for creating resilient, high-performance applications.
