Patterns for scalable and resilient apps
Learn patterns and practices for creating apps that are resilient and scalable, two essential goals of many modern architecture exercises. A well-designed app scales up and down as demand increases and decreases, and is resilient enough to withstand service disruptions. Building and operating apps that meet these requirements requires careful planning and design.
