Mastering Error Handling in Distributed Systems

As a software developer new to backend systems, error handling in a distributed environment can seem daunting. Backend errors often look like an insurmountable mountain, but over time, they start to resemble a complex but solvable puzzle. Here’s a journey that covers my experiences—from struggling to troubleshoot microservices as a junior developer to confidently implementing fault-tolerant systems as a senior engineer.

Handling Asynchronous Workflows in Backend Systems

As a software engineer, I often find myself balancing speed, scalability, and reliability in backend systems, especially in projects involving real time data and high user demand. The synchronous approach often led to bottlenecks, particularly with tasks like processing bulk data, managing external API calls, or running complex computations. That’s when I discovered the transformative power of asynchronous workflows through message queues, event streams, and task scheduling.
