• Fault Tolerance Switch

Intent of Circuit Breaker Design Pattern

The Circuit Breaker pattern is a critical Java design pattern that helps ensure fault tolerance and resilience in microservices and distributed systems. Using Circuit Breaker, it is possible to prevent a system from repeatedly trying to execute an operation likely to fail, allowing it to recover from faults and prevent cascading failures.

• Retry Logic
• Retry Mechanism

Intent of Retry Design Pattern

The Retry pattern in Java transparently retries certain operations that involve communication with external resources, particularly over the network, isolating calling code from the retry implementation details. It is crucial for developing resilient software systems that handle transient failures gracefully.
