Communication in a Distributed World
summary
The talk examines communication challenges in distributed microservice architectures—covering issues like routing requests between services, safely retrying requests, and ensuring correct processing. It analyzes the causes and costs of these problems and outlines strategies and best practices to avoid or mitigate them in deployments that use service decomposition, smaller deploys, and autoscaling.
