A Forward Retry is a mechanism where a failed operation to an external service(s) is automatically attempted again after a certain delay. The primary purpose of this design is to handle transient network failure, temporary outages thereby improving the reliability of the system. I recently faced a similar situation at work where I had to make sure that my service is always … [Read more...] about System Design: Forward Retry Mechanism In Distributed Architecture

Leader Election with ZooKeeper: Simplifying Distributed Systems Management
Imagine you are in a group project, the task is pretty complex :p and everyone is looking at each other, wondering who is going to take the lead? Does this situation sounds similar to you? I remember we used to play some sort of game like "Rock, Paper, Scissor" or "Eeny, meeny, miny moe" (I never did this but my sister). Similarly, distributed systems have their own ways of … [Read more...] about Leader Election with ZooKeeper: Simplifying Distributed Systems Management
Replication – How Is It Done In Distributed Systems?
Replication simply means keeping a copy of the same data on multiple machines connected via a network. These machines could be present in different parts of the world and not necessarily in the same perimeter. There are many benefits of having this redundancy that you will see later in this article. The objective is this article is to provide some insights into different … [Read more...] about Replication – How Is It Done In Distributed Systems?
