Best Practices for Designing Resilient APIs for Scalability and Reliability

DZone

Over the last 15+ years, Ive worked on designing APIs that are not only functional but also resilient able to adapt to unexpected failures and maintain performance under pressure. In this article, Ill share practical strategies for designing APIs that scale, handle errors effectively, and remain secure over time.

Designing Collaborative Multi-Agent Systems with the A2A Protocol

O'Reilly

What we think comes next in the area of multi-agent system design. Async first: A2A is designed with asynchronous communication as a primary consideration, allowing tasks to proceed over extended periods and seamlessly integrate human-in-the-loop workflows. Similar to A2A, MCP operates using two key parts, starting with the MCP server.

Understanding the Circuit Breaker: A Key Design Pattern for Resilient Systems

DZone

The Circuit Breaker Pattern is an important design pattern used to build fault tolerant and resilient systems. The Circuit Breaker Pattern is actually inspired by electrical circuit breakers you see at your home, which is designed to prevent system failures by detecting faults and stopping the flow of electricity when problems occur.
