Core patterns for robust cloud foundations
In this section, we delve into the foundational design patterns that are essential for building resilient, scalable, and efficient cloud-based applications. These patterns provide the architectural groundwork necessary to address common challenges in cloud computing, including system failures, resource contention, and service dependencies. Specifically, we will explore the Leader-Follower pattern, the Circuit Breaker pattern, and the Bulkhead pattern, each offering unique strategies to enhance fault tolerance, system reliability, and service isolation in the dynamic environment of cloud computing.
The Leader-Follower pattern
The Leader-Follower pattern is a concurrency design pattern that’s particularly suited to distributed systems where tasks are dynamically allocated to multiple worker units. This pattern helps manage resources and tasks efficiently by organizing the worker units into a leader and multiple followers. The leader...
