Architecture Corner Newsletter Podcast - When system failures are inevitable, the key isn't preventing them but designing around them. Today we explore practical strategies that keep your applications running when dependencies fail, without breaking the bank on complex infrastructure.In this episode we will cover:Implementing graceful degradation patterns to maintain service during dependency failuresUsing circuit breakers and fallback mechanisms to deliver acceptable user experiencesMoving critical operations to asynchronous flows to eliminate cascading failuresIdentifying application dependencies through BPMN documentation and APM toolsBuilding a degradation scorecard to evaluate which services can operate with default behaviorsReal-world examples from e-commerce scenarios including fraud detection and payment processingWhen to consider more advanced solutions like disaster recovery and active-active setupsFor more details check here.If you are interested in more information about software development and architecture, subscribe for free to our newsletter.---https://architecturecorner.substack.com
