In high-performance distributed systems, Google Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) are crucial for efficient data serialization, but direct patching of serialized data is largely impractical.

Understanding the different systems of P2P, distributed, and decentralized networks is essential for knowing data and fund management.

In distributed systems, the Byzantine Generals Problem illustrates how nodes must agree on transactions despite potential misinformation from a few dishonest participants.

Backpressure is the hidden negotiation between producers and consumers. Master it, and your systems scale gracefully. Ignore it, and they crumble under peak load.

Message brokers can be categorized into stream-based or queue-based types, each with unique strengths and trade-offs for modern distributed systems.

Modern technology relies heavily on distributed systems, and understanding conceptual frameworks can simplify their design. This approach aids engineers in predicting behaviors and troubleshooting.

"OpenTelemetry is like a Swiss Army knife I got for my birthday: It has tons of tools, but all of them are only mediocre. It tries to do everything - logs, metrics and traces, with dozens of integrations."
