Tail-Call For Lessons Businesses
Here's what matters:
- In the span of nine days, three separate cloud infrastructure failures took large chunks of the internet offline: AWS CloudFront on July 16, Microsoft Azure West US on July 23, and AWS us-west-2 on July 24
- None of them were caused by a dramatic data center fire or a nation state attack
- They were routing faults, configuration translation bugs, and a piece of networking hardware on the path between a region and a metro area
- [ 1 ] If the target of a tail is the same subroutine, the subroutine is said to be tail recursive , which is a special case of direct recursion
- Tail recursion (or tail-end recursion ) is particularly useful, and is often easy to optimize in implementations
