Patterns for Building Resilient Software Systems

Explore patterns for building resilient software systems in this 54-minute Devoxx conference talk. Learn about modern approaches that embrace failure instead of avoiding it, including graceful degradation, timeouts, circuit breakers, and chaos engineering. Discover how to improve observability, leverage availability zones, implement autoscaling, and handle consistency vs. resilient availability. Gain insights into decoupling, read-only mode, sharding, and preventing cascading failures. Understand the importance of timeouts, retries, exponential backoff, and cancellation. Dive into chaos engineering methodology and learn how breaking things on purpose can enhance system resilience. Explore concepts like steady state, hypothesis formation, experimentation, and continuous testing to build more robust software architectures.
