Distributed systems exist in all shapes and sizes, and chances are you're either working on one now. But the fundamental nature of distributed systems means that we are exposed to all sorts of problems that can cause our systems to become slow, unresponsive, or even fail altogether.

In this one day class, you'll learn about the challenges of distributed systems, and what you can do to create software that is much more likely to work when users need it to.

Whether you're building a fine-grained microservice architecture, or a more monolithic distributed system, you'll learn concrete practices to help make your software more robust.

This is not a coding matserclass, but it is interactive. This is a class about concrete practice, but presented in a technology agnostic way.

What We Will Cover:

Each class is different, with the attendees shaping what content we will cover in each class, but expect to cover:

• What is resiliency?
• The Golden Rules of distributed systems
• Timeout tuning
• Retires & Idempotency
• Load shedding & back pressure
• Circuit breakers
• Bulkheads
• CAP Theory
