Implementing the Circuit Breaker Pattern in Go Microservices
Introduction to Circuit Breakers In the world of microservices, where multiple services collaborate to handle requests, the risk of cascading failures is ever-present. Imagine a scenario where one service is down or responding slowly, causing a chain reaction that brings down the entire system. This is where the Circuit Breaker pattern comes into play, acting as a guardian that prevents such catastrophic failures. What is a Circuit Breaker?
