Yes, I have experience working with distributed systems, including understanding their limitations such as network delays, fault tolerance, data consistency, and scalability. For example, I have dealt with issues related to data sharding and ensuring consistency during failures.
I consider documentation, metrics, and monitoring an integral part of system development and operation. They help quickly identify and resolve problems, as well as maintain code and process quality.
I am familiar with the CAP theorem: it states that in a distributed system, it is impossible to guarantee consistency, availability, and partition tolerance simultaneously. Usually, two of these three properties are chosen based on the application's requirements.
Regarding technical debt tasks such as covering code with metrics or updating documentation, I believe this should be part of the overall development and support process, not a separate task. Regular maintenance of documentation and metrics helps avoid the accumulation of technical debt and reduces risks in the future.
