Abstract : In the realm of microservices architecture, ensuring reliability and resilience is paramount due to the distributed nature and interdependencies of services. A key pattern employed to enhance system robustness is the circuit breaker. When a microservice experiences failures, the circuit breaker pattern detects these faults and transitions between three states: closed, open, and half-open. During this period, requests are automatically redirected or fail fast, preventing additional strain on the troubled service. Once the service stabilizes, the circuit breaker transitions to the half-open state, where it allows a limited number of test requests to verify recovery. If these succeed, the circuit breaker closes, restoring normal operation. This abstract explores the implementation, benefits, and challenges of circuit breakers in microservices, emphasizing their role in maintaining high availability and robust performance in modern distributed systems.

Keywords : CB, Circuit, Circuit Breaker, Microservices.
