Design SLOs, timeouts, stale modes, fallbacks, load shedding, and recovery.
Which dependency failure requires a safe stop instead of a lower-quality fallback?
Failure handling exposes dependency boundaries, action risk, and real production judgment.
The safest useful fallback is part of the product, not an incident improvisation.
Neural reranking becomes a single point of failure for search even though lexical retrieval is healthy.
These sources support the technical claims on this page. Product-specific examples remain Engineering Foundry teaching scenarios.
User-centered service indicators, objectives, and reliability decision boundaries.
Production-readiness tests and monitoring across data, models, infrastructure, and integration.
