👉 Pass engineering is a specialized field within software engineering that focuses on designing, developing, and optimizing the communication pathways, or "passes," between different components of a distributed system. These passes are the channels through which data and control signals are transmitted, ensuring that information is accurately and efficiently relayed from one service or module to another. Effective pass engineering involves careful consideration of factors such as latency, bandwidth, reliability, and security to minimize bottlenecks and maximize system performance. It also includes techniques for error detection and correction, load balancing, and protocol optimization to ensure seamless interaction between components, which is crucial for the overall reliability and scalability of distributed applications.
