Patterns

A book-shaped table of contents for reusable engineering patterns spanning object-oriented design, enterprise architecture, distributed systems, messaging, APIs, cloud infrastructure, observability, security, concurrency, AI/agentic systems, and organizational design — grounded in production experience at scale.

01 — Consensus Patterns

Raft, Paxos, Leader Election, and Quorum — how a distributed system agrees on a single value or leader despite node failures and network partitions.

04 — Consistency Patterns

Strong, Eventual, Causal, Read-Your-Writes, and Monotonic Reads consistency models — what guarantee a client actually gets, and what it costs in latency and availability.

02 — Coordination Patterns

Distributed Lock, Lease, Heartbeat, Membership, and Gossip — the primitives nodes use to coordinate without a single point of failure.
