# Distributed Systems Patterns Comprehensive patterns for building reliable distributed systems. Each category has individual rule files in `rules/` loaded on-demand. ## Quick Reference | Category | Rules | Impact | When to Use | |----------|-------|--------|-------------| | [Distributed Locks](#distributed-locks) | 3 | CRITICAL | Redis/Redlock locks, PostgreSQL advisory locks, fencing tokens | | [Resilience](#resilience) | 3 | CRITICAL | Circuit breakers, retry with backoff, bulkhead isolation | | [Idempotency](#idempotency) | 3 | HIGH | Idempotency keys, request dedup, database-backed idempotency | | [Rate Limiting](#rate-limiting) | 3 | HIGH | Token bucket, sliding window, distributed rate limits | | [Edge Computing](#edge-computing) | 2 | HIGH | Edge workers, V8 isolates, CDN caching, geo-routing | | [Event-Driven](#event-driven) | 2 | HIGH | Event sourcing, CQRS, transactional outbox, sagas | **Total: 16 rules across 6 categories** ## Quick Start ```python # Redis distributed lock with Lua scripts async with RedisLock(redis_client, "payment:order-123"): await process_payment(order_id) # Circuit breaker for external APIs @circuit_breaker(failure_threshold=5, recovery_timeout=30) @retry(max_attempts=3, base_delay=1.0) async def call_external_api(): ... # Idempotent API endpoint @router.post("/payments") async def create_payment( data: PaymentCreate, idempotency_key: str = Header(..., alias="Idempotency-Key"), ): return await idempotent_execute(d...
