been running into this a few times in production
api returns success, everything looks fine, but the actual result happens later and sometimes doesn’t match what you expect
especially with async stuff, queues, external providers, timing between systems
wrote this to try and map out what’s actually happening between “request handled” and the final outcome
curious how others think about it
- brudgers 6mo agoSeems similar to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47742677 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47742677 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47803517 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47803517 etc.
- Bridgexapi 6mo agoyeah fair, a lot of this exists in different forms already for me it wasn’t really about the idea itself, more how often this still trips you up in real systems things look identical at the API level, same response, same logs, but the actual outcome drifts depending on what happens after that’s the part that kept biting me in production, so tried to break that down a bit more concretely
