Independent Components Sample Clauses

Independent Components. ‌ Normally, a monolithic design has its components overly intertwined and with a high degree of depen- dencies between them, possibly leading to some constraints and redundancies on the system. Having separate and independent layers allows us to avoid these redundancies and constraints by defining clear interfaces between each of these layers, and by delineating how they interact. Additionally, having two independent interface abstractions (execution and order) allows for a black-box abstraction model per layer. This means that the clients only know they are interacting with some application that will execute their command, and simplify the interface they use to interact with the whole system. Moreover, sepa- rate layers enable us to more easily maintain the system: we can change each layer individually without affecting the others. For instance, we can add more execution clusters without the clients noticing or disrupting the ordering layer, and we can change the consensus protocol on the ordering layer without changing the execution layer as well.
