Summary
In this chapter, we detailed errors and mistakes that you might commonly encounter both in designing architectures and in working with existing deployed solutions. Some of the remedies we’ve reviewed may seem like common sense to you, but not to others.
We went over practices that were developed specifically for the edge-native environment: pulling versus pushing and their security implications, discussing application dependency management and resolution approaches, and deployment models. The next section covered ways to think about designing antifragile solutions that improve when placed under stress instead of breaking when exposed to random events. In the last section, we went over our options when systems fail.
As a result, you should have a list of considerations that will help you to architect long-lived and resilient solutions for edge environments. We hope that you will not only put these recommendations and guidelines into practice but also pass along...
