Client-Server Architecture
System Analysis
Normal Behavior
A distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service.
Failure Behavior
May drop requests or fallback to degraded mode under load.
Business Consequence
Overloading the centralized server bottlenecks the entire system, rendering thick clients useless and severely degrading user productivity and transactional throughput across the enterprise.
Visual Manifestation
"Client applications hang indefinitely with spinning cursors, while the server CPU and thread pool metrics are pegged at 100%."
Satirical Behavior
"A timeless design pattern where we give users a powerful laptop, only to make them wait for a tiny cloud instance to do all the actual work."
