Tutorial on systems with antifragility to downtime

Abstract An antifragile system of software and stakeholders, including designers, developers, operators, learn from incidents how to avoid outages maintain high uptime. This tutorial article reviews design operate such socio-technical systems with antifragility downtime. It documents the importance four principles two operational by exploring polar opposite anti-principles interplay between anti-principles. The mandate a separate isolatable processes sufficient diversity redundancy. should communicate asynchronously over an external network. imply that development teams repeatedly inject artificial failures into production understand its behavior detect mitigate vulnerabilities as environment change.
