@raycheung

Description

@raycheung

Write an article about fault tolerance, that:

  • Compare fault tolerance and error handling
  • Limitations of try-catch, why the mechanism would often not help
  • Discuss retrying is the best solution programmatically
  • Hierarchical propagation of errors
  • Graceful degradation
  • Explain why overall it's more resilient while being simpler
  • Erlang: the 'process' could be entirely garbage collected
  • How about side effects
