Design principles for architectural reliability
The goal of reliability is to contain the impact of any failure in the smallest area possible. By preparing your system for the worst-case scenarios, you can implement various mitigation strategies for the different components of your infrastructure and applications.
Before a failure occurs, you should thoroughly test your recovery procedures.
The following are the standard design principles that help you to strengthen your system's reliability. You will find that all reliability design principles are closely related and complement each other.
Making systems self-healing
System failure needs to be predicted in advance, and in the case of failure incidence, you should have an automated response for system recovery, called system self-healing. Self-healing is the ability of the solution to recover from failure automatically. A self-healing system detects failure proactively and responds to it gracefully...
