This is important, but I'm not sure everybody necessarily agrees on what "fail safely" means.
Fail safely can mean one of:
- It doesn't fail silently
- It doesn't cause cascading failures
- It doesn't cause infinite failure loops
- It doesn't fail in ways that corrupt data
- It doesn't fail in ways you lose money
- You can safely retry
- You can safely retry anytime (not just today, or just this month)
