Description
The world is not perfect and network failures do happen. Complaining about instability might not always be enough. Especially when your system depends on multiple networked services and each of them is on a critical path to the final result.
In this talk we will recall why network failures happen. Reason what we can and cannot handle in the code. And see what Python standard libraries and a few popular ones such as urllib3 and requests can offer.
And that's not all. Network Emulation (netem) module of Linux Traffic Control (tc) can even help with poor network simulation.
Now there is no excuse.
