Circuit Breaker Pattern: States, Tuning, and Monitoring
Implement circuit breakers with closed, open, and half-open states; tune failure windows, probe recovery, fallbacks, and alerts without masking outages.
Exponential Backoff & Jitter: Stop Retry Storms (Code & Math)
Learn how exponential backoff with jitter prevents retry storms. Compare full, equal, and decorrelated jitter formulas, retry budgets, and code examples.
Graceful Degradation: Designing Systems That Fail Well
Design graceful degradation with fallbacks, deadlines, circuit breakers, load shedding, kill switches, and explicit monitoring for degraded states.
Chaos Engineering: How to Run Safe Failure Experiments
Plan a safe chaos experiment with a steady-state hypothesis, blast radius, abort conditions, monitoring probes, rollback, and a reusable experiment record.
