Cell Based Architecture
In plain terms
Partitioning a system into isolated, self-contained cells.
Going deeper
Cell-based architecture splits a system into independent cells that each handle a subset of users or traffic, limiting failure blast radius. Problems stay contained within a cell.
Under the hood
Each cell is a full stack serving a partition; improves resilience and scaling isolation at higher complexity.
Examples
High-availability systems, blast-radius reduction, AWS-scale architecture, partitioning.
Think of it like...
Like a ship's watertight compartments, a breach in one doesn't sink the whole vessel.
