Resilient Design
Resilient Design is a software development methodology focused on creating systems that can withstand and recover from failures, disruptions, or unexpected loads. It involves designing applications to be fault-tolerant, scalable, and maintain high availability even under adverse conditions. This approach prioritizes graceful degradation, redundancy, and automated recovery mechanisms to ensure continuous service delivery.
Developers should learn and apply Resilient Design when building mission-critical systems, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms, where downtime or data loss can have severe consequences. It is essential for distributed systems, microservices architectures, and cloud-native applications to handle network partitions, hardware failures, or sudden traffic spikes effectively, ensuring reliability and user trust.
