Navigating the 8 fallacies of distributed computing
Blog post from Ably
The Fallacies of Distributed Computing are a set of eight assumptions that can lead to failure in distributed systems. These fallacies include the belief that the network is reliable, latency is zero, bandwidth is infinite, the network is secure, topology doesn't change, there is one administrator, transport cost is zero, and the network is homogeneous. Understanding these fallacies can help architects and developers build dependable distributed systems by expecting and preparing for their opposite conditions.
