Software Architecture / Interactions: distribution, failure, and operation
Software Architecture β Interactions: distribution, failure, and operation
Compare deployment boundaries and design asynchronous work, consistency, resilience, authorization, and telemetry.
What you will learn
- Model partial failure, delayed completion, and duplicate effects.
- Bound authority, resource pressure, and operational ambiguity.
Choose deployment boundaries from real independence needs
Compare a modular monolith and autonomous services without treating distribution as a maturity badge.
Start learningDesign asynchronous work with explicit completion and pressure
Use queues to decouple timing while accounting for durability, duplicate delivery, backlog, and user-visible outcomes.
Start learningHandle cross-boundary consistency without imaginary atomicity
Explain dual-write gaps, transactional outbox delivery, and business compensation using a fictional reservation workflow.
Start learningBound failure with deadlines, retries, and isolation
Combine caller budgets, transient-failure policy, circuit states, and resource pools without amplifying an outage.
Start learningDesign trust and authorization at every boundary
Connect data flows, identity, resource authorization, secrets, and safe audit evidence in the workshop system.
Start learningDesign observability around questions and ownership
Use metrics, traces, logs, correlation, and alerts to explain workshop outcomes while controlling sensitive data and telemetry cost.
