Fault tolerance – look, it’s possible!
summary
Claims that production systems stay available by combining concrete patterns and tools: uses Hystrix (Netflix library, handling ~3% of internet traffic) to show implemented circuit breaker, timeouts, health indicators, capacity (bulkhead) limits, retries, deferred work and fallback responses. Demo runs a gateway + inventory microservice (Spring boot jars) with a Hystrix dashboard under load and shows backend failures return defaults and rejections while overall service remains responsive.
