Failing With Grace - Sean O'Connor

One of the biggest challenges of building distributed systems is dealing with failure. In this talk we'll cover a number of approaches and tools to help you build systems that deal with failure as gracefully as possible.

10. Distributed Systems
12. A distributed system is a software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal. Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are: concurrency of components, lack of a global clock, and independent failure of components. - Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design

27. A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable. - Leslie Lamport
