Resilience
Description
Components of the architecture must be fault tolerant, such that failures in one of them will have minimal impact on other components. Single points of failure need to be avoided to the maximum extent possible as the main objective is achieving a distributed architecture.
Resilience improves the reliability, efficiency, and trustworthiness of data-driven systems by ensuring continuity of operations.
Resilience ensures that systems can withstand failures and continue operating, often through redundancy and failover mechanisms. Resilience enhances reliability and uptime by ensuring systems can recover from errors and continue functioning even during issues like hardware failure or network interruptions.
Risks:
- Requires careful design and implementation to ensure effective recovery mechanisms.
- Potential for increased complexity and added costs associated with implementing resilience measures like backups, redundancy and failover systems
- Difficulty in testing and validating the effectiveness of resilience measures.
