Ask HN: Best resources for building a fault-tolerant, highly available system?

• brudgers 11y ago
  That was the motivating case for Erlang. However, most problem domains don't require the same levels of availability and fault tolerance as telephone switching.

    All the same, studying the design decisions that went into Erlang/OTP/Beam is a great place to start. One of the hardest things to deal with is learning how to deal with all the different permutations of failure cases that can happen with hardware, the network, software bugs, etc. Erlang was designed from the ground up with all of this in mind.
