Reliability

Connected ideas across feed formats, practical engineering, and thoughtful AI workflows.

Follow the decisions that keep a feed workflow understandable when something fails. These guides cover item identity, patient delivery, and actions that can be retried without accidental duplication. Use them to distinguish a delayed source from an empty source, a repeated item from a new event, and a completed request from a completed business operation. Pick a realistic interruption and walk it through your design before adding more sources. Reliability begins with clear state and recovery rules, not with an optimistic success-only example.
