Concepts

Single Point of Failure - A component whose failure would cause the entire system to stop functioning, representing a critical vulnerability in any system design.
Incident Management - The process of identifying, responding to, and resolving unplanned disruptions to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
Determinism - The principle that given the same inputs and initial conditions, a system or process will always produce the same outputs.
Idempotency - A property where an operation can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application.
Do What You Said You Would Do - A principle of integrity and reliability - honor your commitments by following through on what you promised.
Chaos Engineering - The discipline of experimenting on distributed systems to build confidence in their ability to withstand turbulent conditions.
Prompt Fragility - The tendency for AI prompts to break or produce degraded outputs when small changes occur in input data, phrasing, or model versions.
Data Redundancy - The practice of storing multiple copies of data to protect against loss from hardware failures, corruption, or disasters.
Data Integrity - The accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data throughout its lifecycle.
Durability - The property ensuring that data persists and survives system failures, power outages, and crashes.
Context Poisoning - The degradation of AI model performance when irrelevant, misleading, contradictory, or adversarial information is included in the context window.
Sample Size - The number of observations in a study, critical for the reliability and precision of findings.
Self-Consistency Prompting - A decoding strategy that samples multiple reasoning paths and selects the most consistent answer through majority voting.
Problem Management - The practice of identifying and managing the underlying causes of incidents to prevent recurrence and minimize impact.
Data Availability - The assurance that data and systems are accessible when needed by authorized users.
Redundancy - The inclusion of extra components beyond the minimum necessary, serving as backups to maintain system function when primary components fail.
ACID Properties - The four guarantees for reliable database transactions: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability.
