Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Reliability > REL 05. How do you design interactions in a distributed system to mitigate or withstand 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 over 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 enable workloads to withstand stresses or failures, more quickly recover from them, and mitigate the impact of such impairments. The result is improved mean time to recovery (MTTR).
See REL 05. How do you design interactions in a distributed system to mitigate or withstand failures? for more information.
