The Synchrony Budget

Read Original

This technical article introduces the 'synchrony budget' concept for distributed systems design. It argues for minimizing synchronous inter-service calls to reduce latency and improve service availability. Using an e-commerce order processing example, it contrasts synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns, recommending asynchronous messaging (e.g., via Kafka) for notifications where immediate consistency isn't required.
