Fallacies of Distributed Systems
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Network is reliableIf reliable, DS would be built with minimal or any error handling or fallback solutions
- 2Latency is zeroTime which takes for the message to get from one machine to another. Example NY to Chicago
- 3Bandwidth is infiniteBandwidth increasing which is a strong mitigation of this fallacy.
- 4Network is secureComplacency results in being blindsided by malicious users and programs that adapt to security measures
- 5Topology doesn't changeChanges can have effects on both bandwidth and latency
- 6There is just one adminstratorMultiple admins with subnets may institute conflicting policies of which senders of network traffic must be aware to complete their path
- 7Transport cost is zeroHidden costs of building and maintaining a network are non-negligible and must be noted in budgets.
App to transport layer = expensive - 8Network is homogenousIf sys assumes network is homogenous, lead to same problems as first three fallacies.
