Summary:It is necessary for software engineers to manage trade-offs when dealing with failures. However, very little emphasis is placed on cultivating skills in identifying and assessing tradeoffs, and making the inevitable sacrifices to minimize any adverse impacts. In this issue of failure mode we will look at the nature of tradeoffs in software systems using a tabletop exercise simulating an incident.
