Microservices Resilience: Circuit Breakers, Retries, Timeouts & More Explained
Ever had your app crash when a single service went down? You’re not alone. Most distributed systems are built like domino setups—one falls, they all fall.
That’s why resilience patterns aren’t optional in microservices architecture—they’re survival tools.
In this podcast, we’ll break down how circuit breakers, retries, and timeouts work together to prevent cascading failures in your microservices. No theoretical fluff, just practical implementations that have saved countless production environments from meltdowns.
You’ll walk away understanding exactly how Netflix, Spotify, and other tech giants keep their services running when things inevitably break. But first, let’s address the question that confuses even experienced engineers…
