The Fallacies of Distributed Systems

latency seems like a place where it's easy for developers to miss the possibility that a network call could all of a sudden be super high latency and what happens does it just spin. Sometimes even you know half a millisecond of latency on a system that you've become to rely on can suddenly your system just falls apart yeahYeah I think one of the fallacies of of distributed systems is you just don't want to think about latency right? It's just a lot easier to ignore that latency isn't a thing and it doesn't even have to be super high latencies, he says.
