Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Reliability > REL 04. How do you design interactions in a distributed system to prevent failures?

Distributed systems rely on communications networks to interconnect components, such as servers or services. Your workload must operate reliably despite data loss or latency in these networks. Components of the distributed system must operate in a way that does not negatively impact other components or the workload. These best practices prevent failures and improve mean time between failures (MTBF).

See REL 04. How do you design interactions in a distributed system to prevent failures? for more information.
