Cloud computing, DevOps, IOT or just connecting the local active directory or {put any LOB system here}: The applications we build are getting more and more distributed. Now guess who's guilty if your application fails, because there was some error outside of your code (even outside of your control influence)? This session is about designing, developing and deploying rock solid applications.

IT MIGHT NOT FIT YOURS
THIS PRESENTATION CONTAINS MY
PERSONAL VIEW ON THE WORLD
IT IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SINCE 1996
MOST THINGS I LEARNED FROM PAIN
OTHERS FROM MOMENTS OF GRACEFULNESS, BRAVENESS & SUCCESS

A distributed system
is one in which the failure
of a computer you didn't
even know existed can
render
your computer unusable

Servers get rebooted
Code has bugs
Other users might use it different
Failover means offline
Processing time varies by amount of data
Environments differ
File system is not always available

Scale like a boss
Asynchronicity
No one waiting for an error
Bulkheads & Replays
Loose coupling for the win
But dare you forget the dead letters
No cascading failures and stack trace

BASE OVER ACID
Atomic, Consistent, Isolated and Durable
solutions are not a silver bullet.
Basic Availability, Soft-state and Eventual consistency work
better in most distributed scenarios.
BUT YOU MUST THINK DIFFERENT FOR BASE
Use a more relaxed consistency model to reduce coupling
Queues are as transactional as databases

Idempotency
Non-idempotency is complicated to handle
and increases coupling between participants.
stateless stateless stateless
THIS ALSO REQUIRES YOU TO THINK DIFFERENT
But in the end it is nothing more than divide and conquer with an eye on the results
Functional programming and
immutable types for the win.

Monitor & Audit
Measure to gain latency control and detect non-
timely responses before they time out.
Learn more about the life of your system to predict its behavior.
If you can’t debug, log is your friend
Respond to detected failures.
20% - 40% logging code
Auditing and Logging can even be party of your architecture

Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote two interesting books
about how economical systems behave.
He focusses on what happens under
stress and on unexpected occurrences
of events.
The black swan
Antifragility

What Doesn't Kill You
Makes You Stronger
Every time something catastrophic
happens that you take on and survive…
… your team and you code becomes
Stronger, Better, Faster, More
