About System Design

About System Design

Did they do design, or did they just do a system?

Distributed systems are hard in many ways. Andreas describes a system communicating between backends and mobile phones in exciting ways with many exciting possibilities for errors. Like data format changes, loss of messages, having 1.5 source of truths, and of course ordering.

In certain cases, nobody likes an optimist.

The discussion then moves to discuss the working well-windows for various networking solutions, before diving into WebRTC and finishing up with the various dangers of auto.
