How can I implement fault tolerance in my application?

How can I implement fault tolerance in my application?

Implementing fault tolerance involves designing your application to continue operating even when some components fail. You can achieve this through redundancy, error handling, and failover strategies.

What are some common techniques for achieving fault tolerance?

Common techniques include using redundant systems, implementing circuit breakers, and employing graceful degradation to maintain functionality.

Can you explain what a circuit breaker pattern is?

The circuit breaker pattern prevents an application from repeatedly trying to execute an operation that's likely to fail, allowing it to recover gracefully.

How do I test fault tolerance in my application?

You can test fault tolerance by simulating failures in your system, such as shutting down services or introducing network latency, and observing how your application responds.
