Circuit Breaker Design Pattern
Introduction One of my personal favourite patterns, the Circuit Breaker Design Pattern, is used to prevent an application from repeatedly trying to execute an operation that is likely to fail. This can lead to performance degradation, system failure, or missed data. In this post, I’m going to discuss the Circuit Breaker Design Pattern in detail, including its purpose, how it works, and its benefits.
Purpose of the Circuit Breaker Design Pattern The purpose of the Circuit Breaker Design Pattern is to provide a way to handle errors and failures in distributed systems. It is essential to have a mechanism in place to handle these errors because they can cause cascading failures that can bring down an entire system. The Circuit Breaker Design Pattern provides a way to detect and handle these errors in a way that is both safe and efficient.
