Abstract

In the high-stakes world of insurance, where trust and continuity are the most important, even the loss of a few minutes of your time or a slight data loss can result in major disturbances of both your reputation and finances. The book Fail-Proof by Design:  Building Always-On Insurance Infrastructure with Multi-Zone Redundancy and Self-Healing Pipelines has been developed to assist insurance providers in the process of building digital infrastructure with ultra-strong resistance that will guarantee uninterrupted service, data security, and a fast recovery from any problems. This article describes the two most important strategies multi-zone redundancy and self-healing pipelines. These strategies make sure not only that the system is safe but also that the system can recover from the disaster automatically and correctly. With multi-zone redundancy, workloads and data are shared among the zones that are far from each other and still, the whole system is not exposed to the risk of being shut down and up to that time, even if there are still parts of the system shut down, the service will still run efficiently. However, as for self-healing pipelines, they involve active participation and the human factor; the first one finds out the weak or strange places of the infrastructure and is able to make the process go through the changes, as well as to restore the normal situation. Jointly, these design patterns make insurers capable not only of guaranteeing operational continuity but also of ensuring a positive customer experience and being aligned with regulations that demand uptime and data protection. To clarify the abstract concepts by providing them with the specific example, aside from other things, the article contains a case study of a middle-sized insurance company, where the company shares their experience of moving successfully to an infrastructure that is continuously efficient and, hence, resilient and that has involved these methods—stressing the aspects that caused their failure, also revealing the solutions, and the good results after going through the procedure. With practical tips and a focus on the achievements, this piece is not only a strategic guide but also a technical guide for leaders of IT, architects, and teams of the insurance sector toward the aim of preventing such a kind of problem and gaining trust in reliability
