A core capability for building low-latency platforms is quickly detecting and reacting to issues.

Read Original

The article discusses a core challenge in building low-latency platforms: the overreliance on automatic retries as a primary resiliency mechanism. It argues that while retries are useful, they introduce delays and are insufficient alone. The author emphasizes the importance of foundational practices like readiness probes, health checks, and graceful shutdowns to create truly reliable and fast systems, especially in microservices architectures.
