Selective Reliability Engineering: There Is No Single Source of Truth
Elise Burke, Datadog
As engineers we design distributed architectures, define project scopes, and ensure that we have a single "source of truth". But what, exactly, do we mean by the phrase? Do we really have only one source of truth - and for that matter, how do we decide what it is?
We'll look at some well-known ambiguities in system design and data modeling and then consider more philosophical questions about truth, the sources of truth we accept, and why this ambiguity matters.
