Top 7 Most-Used Distributed System Patterns

[@agarbanzo360]

Great video, but I think it would be good if you mentioned some of the pitfalls or common issues with each of these approaches, in addition to the things they can benefit

[@maciekp.1930]

In 6 minutes? 😅

[@dennisestenson7820]

Who said it had to be done in 6 minutes?

[@danielgrannn]

I think the purpose of this video is just to introduce into the pattern logic.

[@vonmakeheat]

I watch all his videos on 1.75 and I swear this is the very best system design tutor on KZbin !!!!!

[@АлексГладун-э5с]

The Ambassador pattern is not typically associated with reducing latency since it introduces an extra component into the communication process between services. In fact, service mesh providers like Istio are often recognized for the latency overhead they contribute.

[@Winnetou17]

I think it reduces latency in the event where the busy CEO is doing something else and the other part has to wait for the CEO to handle its request. The ambassador can start handling the request immediately.

Every arch has its own pros an cons. API Gateway provides us flexibility over 3-10ms depends on what kind of controls we add to the flow.

Fantastic! Best event-sourcing explanation ever! I tried to know what event sourcing is many times and understand only from this video, that I actually worked with event sourcing many years when worked with accounting software. Thanks a lot!

[@ChetanSankhala]

Awesome video. One suggestion to improve it more. 1) Keep Header for each section on top. Example: When explaining Sharding, It will looks good if Sharding is there in full 10 second section

[@iceman4660]

I view this as a jumpstart into a topic. Enough to get me going. For that I appreciate the work.

[@amitnilajkar6272]

beautiful video, just loved every bit of it.

[@furo.v]

In my opinion one of the most important and most used patterns wasn't mentioned here: Job queues (work queues + worker pool). Basically you have a queue of jobs to be completed, and several nodes are working, and when one becomes available (i.e. finishes its previous job), a pending job enters that node. Like a single queue in a shop waiting (=all the pending jobs) and a few cashiers handling them one by one (=the workers). The difference from pub sub is that only one node gets the job, since there's no need for multiple nodes to handle the same job.

[@sujoydutta920]

Incredible you just made it so simple to understand Thank you

[@dmitrydmitriev2554]

Amazing. Thank you! Please keep on create such kind of videos. The selling point of them is a shortness, them fit perfectly in time gaps and allows to become better without rearranging a schedule of a day.

[@bananesalee7086]

thank you, you're great as usual

[@leuhenry8031]

awesome! what tools do you use for drawing the beautiful diagrams? I like them so much. It makes knowledge easier

[@tyronefrielinghaus3467]

I'd also like to know. The animated reveals make it so much easier to follow.

[@ТемурТурсунбаев-л8ю]

Like this nice and smooth animation chasing explanation run

[@ogrenisme]

This video is a bit of a mixed bag in sense of patterns. While Ambassador and Circuit breaker are surely patters of distributed and distinct systems, CQRS and Event Sourcing are typical examples of how to architect a single application (system).

[@sergiik2168]

2:49 "When each commit represent a change" - well, in Git each commit represent a snapshot of a filesystem. Diff between commits represent a change. I'm boring, I know.

[@samuelalmeida9174]

Great video! Please, let me know, how do you make this presentations?

[@officialismailshah]

Best video nicely explain🎉🎉🎉

[@leanhducvt]

Thank you.

[@thereisnootherday]

I think that Replication should be in the list as one of the most important patterns in distributed systems. Optional: quorum, fencing, eventual consistency, you name it

[@alvinxyz7419]

agree

[@mikhailbalayan1256]

Replication is not a pattern, but one of the implementations for CQRS.

[@JosemarAndre-h7m]

Great Video

[@grayyeung757]

Would like to know more the diff between Event-driven system vs Message-driven system.

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Excellent

[@ThiagoMeloBezerra]

Nice video! I love your content. I would like to know which tools do you use to make those videos?

[@codewithkashif]

I am big fond of your content! However i am still not able to digest that EventSourcing is distributed architecture pattern😮 please guide us

[@南方中阳]

How do you make animation in the video , it is very nice, I want to learn ,please share me the way

[@ashiquehoque762]

Could you please share the insights of QR CODE and How it works?

[@Infalodon]

Is using a queue with large retry time would be considered as a circuit breaker?

[@zzzzzzzzzzsh]

Thanks for creating such good content Alex! I have two comments though.. 1. It's not good to have advertisement video names like this one, especially when the target audience are educated people. I mean based on what statistic you stated that these are the top 7 most used patterns? 2. In CQRS part, I think the below example you gave is irrelevant. "separate list items (reads) and new orders (writes)". Orders and Items are different domains and they might be in different microservices and also both of them might implement CQRS separately (orders service might have one DB for write and other one for read and same applies to Items). Good example would be: a banking application let customers create banking accounts(writes - less frequent) and to retrieve accounts (reads - more frequent).

[@SD-df3kn]

Hi. What do you use to create these presentations/animations. I'd like to use it for my interviews. Thank you.

[@vampiroast]

What pattern or strategy can I use for a website that sells tickets for movie theaters?, for example if a user selects seat 1-A he's given 5 minutes to complete the process and buy the ticket, I assume that in those 5 minutes the seat cannot be selected and buyed by another user, I'm not really sure if that's the way the website should behave or if another user can buy a ticket for the same seat. Taking it a little bit further imagine that user can buy tickets using a website, an app, and directly in the movie theater.

[@JackReacher1]

Impressive

[@jakebiggs7282]

is sharding the same as chunking?

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Chatgpt uses something similar to CQRS right? The AI doesn't learn with our input. Its learning process is verified by an employed before being accepted to the AI

[@johnday2631]

how to you create your info graphics?

[@srinivasareddy3709]

which tool you are using for creating slides ?

[@KeiKAndLies]

I cant wait for my database to shart itself.

[@ryankan1]

what's the diagramming tool that you used for the video?

[@drtf2000]

Kubernetes does not use Envoy natively. Istio does.

[@jne1000000]

Isn't rate limiter also a very common distributed systems pattern?

[@amirsaeed3395]

More examples and breakdown would have been even better.

[@MahmoudSaed98]

CQRS

[@nkbuaa]

This is too high level and too abstract. Would be great to expand each one. I found most of the top x videos are hard to digest. In 5-7mins, it will be great to dive deep into one topic and explain it well

[@AndrewBreunig]

I see an opportunity to convey a different message to early career engineers by portraying the busy CEO as a woman, rather than the executive assistant as a woman.

[@shaleensaxena1664]

Is there a way to actually build and try such patterns? I understand better by doing.

[@shentot6]

Yes! You could totally build a toy system for it. It could be only code or only diagrams. Which suites you best!

[@shaleensaxena1664]

@@shentot6 I would prefer to build a toy system. Any suggestions or guidance on how to get started?

[@slashd0t1]

@@shaleensaxena1664 create a diagram with the system configuration for your toy system and list the tools you would use(eg elastisearch, kafka). Browser their sdks or learn those technologies depending on your current level of knowledge. Then all but left to build it depending on your choice of programming language. You could actually learn the technologies like kafka while coding the application. Happy coding

Whoops, you accidentally set the CEO as male and secretary as female. Would be great to fix your bias in future videos. It would suck to take away from your great content.

[@ordinarygg]

How to make ads and people don't understand this is ads. Brilliant work) almost 0% real and applicable knowledge, not include PostgreSQL in sharding?) I even don't understand who is this guy and what he did and why all of you listening to him)) it's literally copy paste from books) most of this info is 90% not used widely only used for interviewing jobs. Real things are much ugly everywhere, I thought your glasses will be pink LOL)

[@ac5719]

I don't understand your gripes with the video. It introduced 7 distributed systems patterns. If any of them seem applicable for your project, then now you know what pattern to go in-depth into. They even named commonly used services that utilize/offer these patterns. I agree that real projects are often not as well-executed as the theory, but I feel like you learn the ideal/theoretical design to then make the necessary compromises based on your project's limitations.

[@casiowatch125]

I have used all seven of these patterns (+ strangler fig) in production systems. Although I would not refer to them as "patterns". of course this is an advertisement for the books and newsletter. i own both of the books and found them to be quite valuable. The intended audience is not for complete begineers. I like short videos like this too. They are nice little refreshers

I think you're missing the point of the video, if I'm understanding you correctly (which is hard with such an incoherent comment)
