Understanding Resilience Concepts

Being able to build a fully resilient application environment is a daunting task for many of us. Simply defining what resilience even means varies based on several factors. For example, simply being able to quickly reboot a standalone server when an application is running out of memory might be considered as having a resilient environment if that is what you are looking for. However, when the term resilient is brought up, the typical expectation is that we are aiming to build an architecture that is resilient to all internal and external influencing factors and will exhibit high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability under all circumstances.

In this book, we will help provide clarity about resiliency, dive deep into what resilient architecture looks like, and explore the measures you can take to build a resilient design that serves the resilience goals you have set for your applications. The book will primarily focus on services and features...
