Summary
In this chapter, we’ve explored the world of application resiliency, cloud-native design patterns, information redundancy to support business continuity, and the importance of clear and graceful communication. Using the Polly library, we have seen how different policies can be applied to method execution to promote resilience.
By using purpose-built services, we’ve seen how enabling event redundancy at each station can help protect information from becoming lost in the event of a communications failure. Also, we have seen how graceful service degradation can be augmented by graceful communication patterns, enabling user-centric feedback when things go amiss. As we look forward to Chapter 13, Telemetry Capture and Integration, we will take what we have learned with respect to resiliency and redundancy and augment it with telemetry capture to properly catalog information that can be used by operational teams later in the event of a platform issue.
