SystemTechniques · 19Primitives · 70 bpm-low-code Idl code generationcompilers · medium: Generate typed client/server stubs and codecs from an interface definitionDeterministic simulation testingdistributed · medium: Run the whole system in one thread under a seeded scheduler with simulated network, disk and clock, so every failure replays from its seed.›Durable job queuedistributed · medium: Persisted tasks that workers lease for a visibility timeout, ack on success and retry with backoff; at-least-once execution that survives worker and queue crashes.›Primary-backup replicationdistributed · medium: One node orders all writes and ships them to standbys; the acknowledgement rule (none, one, all) sets what a crash loses, and an external arbiter decides who takes over.›Saga patterndistributed · medium: Split a cross-service operation into local transactions, each paired with an undo; on failure run the undos in reverse, or retry forward.›Coverage-guided fuzzingsecurity · medium: Mutate inputs, run an instrumented target, and keep any input that reaches a new code edge; feedback turns blind guessing into incremental search.›Tamper-evident audit logsecurity · medium: An append-only log whose Merkle root, signed per batch, lets anyone verify an entry is present and history was never rewritten, with log-size proofs.›Leasesdistributed · low: A lock that expires on its own: bounded-time ownership that survives crashes and partitions, given bounded clock drift and fencing tokens on writes.›Idempotency keysfinance · low: Client-chosen unique key per logical operation, stored with a request fingerprint and the final response, so retries replay the first result instead of acting twice.›Exponential backoff with jittersystems · low: Retry after delays that grow geometrically and are randomized, so failed clients spread out instead of hammering a recovering service in synchronized waves.›Pratt parsingcompilers · low: Table-driven expression parsing with one loop and a numeric binding power per operator; the compact core of precedence handling in hand-written parsers.›Hdr histogramdata-structures · low: Log-linear bucketed histograms with bounded relative error for latency percentilesEvent sourcingfinance · low: Persist state changes as an append-only stream of immutable events per entity; current state is a fold over them, guarded by expected-version appends.›Process supervisionhardware-os · low: A parent process starts services, reaps their exits and restarts them under a delay and burst-limit policy, then stops them with SIGTERM before SIGKILL.›Authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, R…security · low: How to decide who may do what to which object; roles for coarse rules, relationships for sharing, and checks on every object.›Input validation and injectionsecurity · low: Keep untrusted data as data: parse it into types at the boundary, and never splice it into code, queries, shells or HTML.›Mutual TLSsecurity · low: TLS where the client also proves a certificate key, so every connection carries a verified, rotatable machine identity.›OAuth 2 and OpenID Connectsecurity · low: Delegated authorization (OAuth 2) and login on top of it (OIDC); use authorization code + PKCE for every user-facing client.›Row-level security (multi-tenant is…security · low: Append a policy predicate to every query inside the database, so a forgotten WHERE tenant_id = ? in application code cannot leak another tenant's rows.›Secrets managementsecurity · low: Keep keys and passwords out of code and logs, give workloads short-lived identity instead of static keys, and make rotation routine.›Optimistic concurrency controlstorage · low: Run transactions without locks, record what they read, and validate at commit that nothing changed; fastest when conflicts are rare.›Graceful drainingsystems · low: On a termination signal, stop taking new work, finish in-flight work until a deadline, tell clients to reconnect elsewhere, then exit; clients resume from a token.›Hierarchical state machinesystems · low: Nest states so a substate inherits its parent's reactions and only overrides what differs, with ordered entry and exit actions along the path.›+ 12 more techniques+ 54 more primitives
