SystemTechniques · 28Primitives · 96 title-escrow 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.›Durable workflow executiondistributed · medium: Ordinary code made crash-proof by logging every side-effect result and replaying the code from that log; activities run at least once, workflow logic must be deterministic.›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.›Authorization holdsfinance · medium: Pending vs posted balances: auth holds, incremental auths, partial captures and hold expiryPayment 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.›Address geocodinggeometry · medium: Parse, normalize and fuzzy-match postal addresses to coordinates and backAddress parsinggeometry · medium: Split free-text addresses into components (house, street, city, postcode) with rules or a sequence modelDouble-entry ledgerfinance · low: Append-only journal of transactions whose postings sum to zero per currency; balances are derived, so money can only move, never appear or vanish.›Document image preprocessingmachine-learning · low: Turn a scan or phone photo into an upright, evenly lit, binarised or normalised grey page so layout analysis and OCR read it reliably.›BM25 rankingsearch-sort · low: The standard lexical relevance score: IDF-weighted term frequency with saturation (k1) and length normalization (b); default in Lucene, Elasticsearch and SQLite FTS5.›Hdr histogramdata-structures · low: Log-linear bucketed histograms with bounded relative error for latency percentilesLargest remainder roundingfinance · low: Splitting an amount into parts that sum exactly (largest remainder / Hamilton) for allocations, splits and prorationsMoney 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.›Reconciliationfinance · low: Match internal ledger records against bank and processor statements by reference, then amount and date window; every unmatched or mismatched item becomes an exception.›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.›Phonetic name matchingsearch-sort · low: Reduce names to phonetic keys (Soundex, Metaphone, Double Metaphone) so differently spelled but similar-sounding names collideDual control approvalsecurity · low: Four-eyes / maker-checker approval with quorum policies for sensitive operationsMutual TLSsecurity · low: TLS where the client also proves a certificate key, so every connection carries a verified, rotatable machine identity.›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.›Calendar date arithmeticsystems · low: Civil dates, time zones (tzdb), DST gaps, month-end anchoring and duration mathGraceful 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.›Cooperative schedulingconcurrency · low: Green threads/coroutines yielding at await points on a user-space schedulerRecord replaydistributed · low: Record every nondeterministic input (time, randomness, I/O, model and tool outputs, per-tick player input) and re-execute deterministically for debugging, replays and state rebuild+ 21 more techniques+ 80 more primitives
