Tools: Implementing Circuit Breaker Pattern For Resilient Microservices

In distributed systems, a single unresponsive service can cascade through your entire architecture. The Circuit Breaker pattern prevents this by failing fast when downstream services struggle.

slidingWindowSize: calls to evaluate, failureRateThreshold: opens circuit when exceeded, waitDurationInOpenState: time before testing recovery.

Circuit breaker is essential for high-availability architectures: e-commerce payments, financial trading, real-time gaming, casino solution platforms, and microservices with external dependencies.

Tune thresholds per service, always implement fallbacks, and monitor state transitions.
