A software self healing pattern (part 1)
By Alvin Alexander. Last updated: March 1 2019
Over the last 18 months I've been working with a 24x7 manufacturing group, and no matter what I say, they always have the same two requests/demands:
- The software system must not fail, and
- If it does fail for some reason, it needs to be able to recover properly from the failure.
Simply put, (a) the machines must keep moving, and (b) nobody wants the phone call in the middle of the night when the machines stop moving.
