5. 5 E-commerce system State Management Email Payment Front-end Shipping Checkout Inventory Cart Internet Queue I just want to trace my calls end-to-end. How do I encrypt calls with ongoing cert rotation? How do applications discover and call each other? How do I handle failed calls and perform retries? How do I secure access to my data layer? How do I handle state conflicts from multiple apps? How do I measure latency on my database? How do I orchestrate business logic transactions? How do I send messages to many applications? Developer challenges
