Self-Healing

Adjective · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. Describing systems that can detect and recover from certain failures automatically. In engineering slang, self-healing is a desirable property, though people sometimes claim it too proudly for systems that really just reboot themselves bluntly.

    In plain English: Able to recover automatically from some failures.

    Example: "The cluster looked genuinely self-healing once unhealthy nodes were drained and replaced automatically without widening the customer-visible incident."
