What is the Circuit Breaker pattern, and how does it help to maintain system resilience?
The Circuit Breaker pattern is used to detect and prevent failures from cascading
through a system by stopping requests to a service that is known to be failing.
How it helps resilience:
- When a service starts failing, the circuit breaker trips and prevents further
requests from being made to the failing service.
- This helps to protect the rest of the system and gives the failing service time to
recover.
- It improves system stability by avoiding repetitive failures that would otherwise
cause further damage or delays.
