Surprised to hear that losing 15 min of state is not a big deal in a banking context.
I haven't worked with banks before, genuinely curious, how do they recover from something like this? Wouldn't this potentially destroy all transactions made in that time period?
- viraptor 2y agoTo be fair they said "frontline application", not a transaction processor specifically. Also in cases where you can't lose stuff it's common to use reliable steam processing, so maybe they can reprocess old events into the system running sqlite. (This is extra general info about "important systems"; I don't know what OP is running)
- cloogshicer 2y agoAh, maybe I just don't know what "frontline application" means in this context.
