SystemTechniques · 18Primitives · 70 theme-park-ops Deterministic 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.›Offline mutation queuedistributed · medium: Apply actions locally at once and queue them durably; on reconnect replay the queue idempotently, then re-apply unconfirmed ones on the server state.›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.›Inventory reservationfinance · medium: Reserving stock with TTL holds, release on timeout and no overselling under contentionPayment state machinefinance · medium: Persisted state machine for a payment lifecycle (authorize, capture, void, refund) that treats timeouts as unknown, retries with the same key and applies webhooks idempotently.›Mobile push deliverynetworking · medium: Sending notifications through APNs and FCM: HTTP/2 requests, token hygiene, collapse keys, TTL and priority, and the retry rules that keep you un-throttled.›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.›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.›Optimistic concurrency controlstorage · low: Run transactions without locks, record what they read, and validate at commit that nothing changed; fastest when conflicts are rare.›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.›Hierarchical timing wheelsystems · low: Timers bucketed by expiry into wheels of slots, coarser wheels for far deadlines: O(1) insert and cancel for millions of timeouts.›Token bucketsystems · low: A bucket of up to b tokens refilled at rate r; requests spend tokens, enforcing an average rate while allowing bursts of b.›Exponential smoothing (ETS, Holt-Wi…statistics · low: Forecast by keeping a few running states (level, trend, seasonal) updated by a fraction of each forecast error; O(1) memory per series and a strong baseline.›Sharded countersconcurrency · low: Split one hot counter into per-core or per-thread cells on separate cache lines; increments stay local and reads sum the cells.›Barcode symbologiesdata-structures · low: Encode/decode 1D and 2D barcodes (Code 128, DataMatrix, QR) with their error correctionHdr histogramdata-structures · low: Log-linear bucketed histograms with bounded relative error for latency percentilesBle advertisingembedded · low: Bluetooth LE advertising packets, scanning and rotating identifiersMoney representationfinance · low: Store money as integer minor units with an explicit currency exponent, compute in wider integers, and round once with a named rounding mode.›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.›Message authentication codes (HMAC,…security · low: A keyed short tag proving a message is unmodified and came from a key holder; pick HMAC, CMAC, KMAC or a one-time polynomial MAC by what primitive you already have.›Mutual TLSsecurity · low: TLS where the client also proves a certificate key, so every connection carries a verified, rotatable machine identity.›Rfid backscatter protocolsignal-processing · low: Passive RFID/DSRC tag interrogation with anti-collision (slotted ALOHA, Q algorithm)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.›+ 11 more techniques+ 54 more primitives
