Single point of failure in System Design
Fault tolerance is a system's ability to maintain operations despite component failures, crucial for reliability and user trust. Key issues include hardware failures, software bugs, and network problems, emphasizing the need for redundancy to mitigate single points of failure (SPOF). Principles of fault-tolerant design include redundancy, graceful degradation, and failover mechanisms. Tools like cloud platforms and container orchestration are essential for resilience. Best practices involve anticipating failures, regular testing, and clear documentation. Robust fault-tolerant designs are vital for ensuring system reliability and fostering continuous improvement to adapt to evolving challenges.
