You built your system, you deployed it, you rolled it up in production. Is it the end? No, it’s just a beginning. The life of your system just started. Just like a baby it will grow, evolve and wake you up in the middle of the night.

Usually at this point you start thinking about fault tolerance and error handling. Fault-tolerance concepts sound simple: modern frameworks promise to effortlessly solve it for you. But what is hiding behind the simplicity? Is there anything else that may hurt you? Let’s take a peek, and find out how to design and build truly fault tolerant Java systems.

Let’s make it real by trying failure scenarios against a live system, watching it recover in real-time - and then review the recipes (with gRPC and REST examples) that you can use right away to make YOUR code more resilient and YOUR system more robust.
