This involves considering how well the languages integrate with the team’s existing technology stack, how mature the languages are, and what learning curve is required.

Large-scale distributed software systems are composed of several individual sub-systems—such as CDNs, load balancers, and databases—and their interactions. These interactions sometimes have unpredictable outcomes caused by unforeseen turbulent events (for example, a network failure). These events can lead to system-wide failures. Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system to build confidence […]
