Faults, Flows, and the Art of Containment

Connect architecture to reliability and compliance.

Key ideas

Fault containment zones (supervision trees as firebreaks).

Idempotent change flow: make every effect replayable.

Backpressure and circuit breakers as "village gates."

Cultural tie-in: "You build it, you own it, you run it."

Bridge to real-world fintech or chat examples.

Takeaway

Isolation boundaries are not just technical. They are behavioral. They define who fixes what when things fail.
