Resilience Lost in the Stack: How Abstraction Layers Silently Mask Distributed Systems’ Topology Awareness
Distributed coordination services exist for a reason, and they are the CPUs of distributed systems that give them their high availability. When it's in your stack, you assume failover is handled. Some services that operate in this layer include Apache Zookeeper, Redis Sentinel, etcd, etc. These services are mathematically engineered for HA. Protocols such as Raft/Paxos/ZAB guarantee this. We know that the DCS itself cannot go wrong as long as a quorum of nodes exists. Here, we want to explore o

From Polling to PubSub: Building an Asynchronous OPC UA Stack in Python
Industrial control systems are generating more data than ever before, but the Python tooling used to process this telemetry often encounters severe performance constraints. Traditional OPC UA libraries are built around synchronous, polling-based Client and Server architectures. When industrial networks scale to thousands of sensors broadcasting high-frequency data, these synchronous Python implementations choke. To handle this modern many-to-many topology, developers need a native Publisher and
