In the world of modern software development, microservices and other distributed architectures have become the go-to solutions for building scalable and resilient applications. However, these approaches also introduce a heightened risk of system failures, when not properly designed.

What happens to your precious data if there’s an hardware failure halfway through processing? How about a network hiccup? Will your API be able to handle client retries and retain consistency?

In this talk, we'll explore various ways in which things can go south, along with some ideas to navigate these challenges and build resilient systems.
