" summary

Five concrete practices with code: use MicroProfile and Jakarta EE core to add annotation-driven fault tolerance (retries, circuit breakers, a 3s timeout), expose standardized health and readiness probes and a /metrics endpoint (demo shows 14 calls with 5 failures and 3 failovers counted), use Unleash for live feature toggles to flip behavior without deploys, implement custom liveness checks (response code and response-time probes), and avoid manual click-ops by scripting infra as code.
