Partial failure¶
Category: Distributed systems · Status: stub
One line: In a distributed system one component can fail while the others continue, and a caller often cannot tell a slow peer from a dead one.
How it connects¶

In each language¶
| Erlang and Elixir | monitor_node ↗ monitors the status of another node |
| Elsewhere | gRPC deadlines ↗: once the deadline has passed, the client gives up and fails the call with DEADLINE_EXCEEDED |
