Antifragile software in a nutshell
Antifragile software engineering is the art of building ultra dependable software systems running in ultra open and unpredictable environments. Antifragile software is an extreme form of self-healing software.
Engineering of antifragile software has several dimensions:
- self-repair at runtime, automatic recovery, automatic remediation.
- randomization, diversification
- failure injection in production, chaos engineering
- self-checking capabilities, self-testing, sense of self
- program hardening, code rewriting
