- Description
- Faults are inevitable and frustrating, as we increasingly depend on network access and the chain of services that provides it, we suffer a greater loss in productivity when any of those services fail and service delivery is suspended. This research explores connectivity and infrastructure fault tolerance through offline-first application design using techniques such as CQRS and event sourcing. To apply these techniques, this research details the design, and implementation of LOYALTY TRACKER; an offline-first, PoS system for the Android platform that was built to operate in the context of a small pub where faults are commonplace. The application demonstrates data consistency and integrity and a complete feature set that continues to operate while offline but is limited by scalability. The application successfully achieves it’s goals in the limited capacity for which it was designed.
