Circuit Breaker pattern
Another design pattern used in software development is the Circuit Breaker pattern. In microservices, the Circuit Breaker design pattern prevents service failures by keeping an eye on interactions, establishing thresholds, and momentarily stopping or suspending traffic to malfunctioning services. It guarantees dependable performance in distributed architectures by assisting in the prevention of cascade failures and preserving system stability.
It is named after the electrical circuit breaker that stops the flow of electricity when there is a fault detected. In software, the circuit breaker pattern is used to detect failures and to define the logic of preventing the failure from reoccurring, during maintenance, temporary external system failure, or unexpected system problems.
That’s how it works, you know. When a system encounters a certain number of failures (e.g., it fails to call a microservice), the Circuit Breaker trips. The Circuit Breaker...
