Disaster Planning and Recovery Strategies
Disaster planning involves creating strategies and mechanisms to mitigate the impact of unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, system failures, cyberattacks, or human errors, on the functionality, availability, and integrity of computer systems and data. It aims to ensure business continuity and minimize downtime in the face of adverse circumstances.
Designing Reliable Systems
The article will highlight a few of the proven strategies for designing reliable systems in case of single point of failures, correlated failures, cascading failures, query of death overload, lazy deletion, etc. with solutions. In this era of cloud designing reliable systems are very important and critical to encounter system/cloud failure as the users rapidly increasing if the system gains popularity overnight. These strategies mainly focus on Google Cloud; however, you can employ these strategies in any cloud including private cloud.
The 12 Factors App
As the software development landscape has evolved with the rise of cloud computing and microservices architecture, ensuring the robustness, scalability, and maintainability of applications has become paramount. Enter the “12 Factors”, a methodology conceived by Adam Wiggins in 2011. These twelve guiding principles offer a roadmap for creating modern, cloud-native applications that are agile and easily deployable. Let’s embark on a comprehensive exploration of each factor, understanding its nuances, and uncovering best practices.
