We have heard these ideas before, but it always becomes real when one feels their own growing pains.
We now understand very well what it means to “design a control plane for failure and tune the data for normal ops.”

In the next blogs, we will talk about specific examples of how we embrace failures and influence scalability. The principles of Carnegie are not just for humans anymore – they are equally applicable to the machines we make, even when they are asleep and dreaming of electronic sheep! Or do they?
