Reliability of Distributed Systems - Piyush Verma
Every product either dies a hero or lives long enough
to hit Reliability issues. 2
Customer Empathy No Chooran. Cost to Everything Architectures adapt to

milk at 6:30 PM to 53308 Cron gets Activated when time is right. Call the User 4 Sample Product

Cron gets Activated when time is right. Call the User
6 Sample Product: Outbound Service receives SMS User sends SMS Remind me to buy milk at 6:30 PM to 53308
7 Inbound Connection
— Leslie Lamport https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2016 /12/Distribution.pdf “A distributed system is one
in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable” 8
Four Flavors of Failure 9 Disk Network CPU Memory
Network is Reliable Intra-LAN latency is ~ Zero Network is
Homogeneous Network cost is Zero 01 02 03 04 10
11 Scope of Failures: Again
At-least one server is online All servers are below 100%
All servers are responding within x ms. All of the above. 01 02 03 04 12
13 #1 Server is Unavailable
14 Replication Available
15 Replication Available
16 Available != Load Balanced
17 Load Balanced
18 Architecture of a Balancer
GCP AWS On-Prem Azure Who uses What? 19
Trilemma 20
Trilemma 21 Available Economical Endurable
22 Available + Load Balanced
Load Balancing 23
24 Monty Hall Problem: Was Marilyn vos Savant, right?
25 Server-side Load Balancing Example: Fabio
26 Look-aside Load Balancing Example: Consul/ DNS
27 Client-side Load Balancing Example: Ribbon
28 Client-side Load Balancing Example: Ribbon + Curator
29 Problems
30 Load Shedding
— Tyler McMullen https://www.infoq.com/presentations/load-balancing/ “Load Balancing is almost Impossible” 31
Alternate Reliability 32
33 Asynchronous Architectures
34 Asynchronous Architectures Example: RabbitMQ Kafka Kinesis SQS

35 Sample Product: Outbound Service receives SMS User sends SMS Remind me to buy milk at 6:30 PM to 53308 Part 1
36 Outbound
37 Scope of Failure: Outbound
38 Retries
39 Retries: Transient Failures
40 Exponential Backoff: Short term Transient Failures ✋ ✋ ✋

41 Circuit Breaking: Long Term Transient Failures
42 Revisited
Dilemma 43 At-least Once Exactly-Once At-most Once
44 At-most once delivery
45 At-least once delivery
46 Exactly once delivery
47 Exactly once delivery = At-least-once Delivery + Exactly-once Processing
Keys to Only-Once delivery 48 Atomic Window Idempotent
Out-of-Order delivery 49
