This blog post discusses the challenges and limitations of distributed systems. It highlights the inherent complexities of designing and managing distributed systems, including issues such as network latency, fault tolerance, and data consistency. The author explains how the distributed nature of these systems can lead to increased complexity and potential failures. It also discusses the trade-offs involved in building distributed systems and the need for careful design and architecture to ensure their reliability. The post concludes by acknowledging that while distributed systems offer many benefits, they also come with their own set of challenges that need to be carefully addressed.
