How I build

systems.status

The request path of a multi-tenant IoT access-control platform for a lock manufacturer, in three states.

PRESIGNED URLSCIRCUIT BREAKERDEAD LETTER QUEUEFAILOVER
STEADY STATE
Cognito signs the phone in. One Go Lambda serves every route, and DynamoDB is keyed on tenant.
SERVICE DEGRADES
A circuit breaker stops the retry storm. Failed work waits in a dead letter queue.
BACK TO GREEN
Capacity returns and the queue drains. Nothing is dropped.

Every quote is a bet on who is on the other side.
