Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are designing a distributed system in an asynchronous environment. Discuss potential approaches to ensure that some level of consensus can be achieved despite the FLP theorem.
💡 Hint: Consider balancing reliability and flexibility in approach.
Question 2
Create a scenario demonstrating how a minor delay in message delivery in an asynchronous system could lead to a breakdown in consensus among distributed processes.
💡 Hint: Think about timing and coordination under pressure.
