Summary A majority of the scalable data processing platforms that we rely on are built as distributed systems. Kyle Kingsbury created the Jepsen framework for testing the guarantees of distributed data processing systems and identifying when and why they break. This brings with it a vast number of subtle ways that errors can creep in.
