Distributed systems theory for the distributed systems engineer

Distributed systems theory for the distributed systems engineer

In My opinion:

• Recommend papers is often precisely the wrong way to go about learning distributed systems theory (unless you are in a PhD program)
• Particularly material is shortage without condescending

Q:What distributed systems theory should a distributed systems engineer know?

Four Reading were used to explain what about building distributed systems.

• Distributed Systems for Fun and Profit
• Notes on distributed systems for young bloods
• A Note on Distributed Systems
• The fallacies of distributed computing

Q: difficulties engineer faced

• processes many fail
• there is no good way to tell that they have done so

Failure and Time

The basic tension of fault tolerance

Basic primitives

Fundamental Results

Real systems:Do this over and over again.
