In distributed software systems, it is very common to make several remote calls to the services running in the different machines with different environments across a network. As you know, remote calls can fail due to the overload from clients without a response until a timeout limit is reached. So, it is a very serious problem for distributed systems. In monoliths, it is not very common to call remote services outside of the application, monoliths mostly require in-memory calls. There is a big difference between in-memory calls and remote calls, remote calls can fail.
The circuit-breaker can help prevent these failures in a distributed software system. The idea behind the circuit-breaker is very simple, you just create a circuit-breaker object for a remote function call that monitors for cascading failures in the distributed software systems. Every circuit-breaker has a threshold of failures, once it is reached, the circuit-breaker opens in the system. All further...
