Fallbacks allow systems to handle failures safely and maintain user experience.

Timeouts in distributed systems indicate suspicion, not confirmed failure.

Graceful degradation allows apps to function partially during service failures.

Dependency failures can disrupt applications, but resilience patterns can help manage them.

A Circuit Breaker helps prevent system failures by stopping calls to unhealthy services.

Partial failure means some services fail while others keep running, impacting system reliability.

Crash failures stop a service, while network failures disrupt communication.

The Circuit Breaker pattern controls service calls to prevent failures from spreading.

Cascading failures occur when one service's failure impacts others, causing widespread issues.

Fail-stop means a system stops and stays down, while fail-recover means it can come back but needs to be ready.

RPC allows one service to call a function in another service over the network.

Backpressure helps manage message flow in Kafka during traffic spikes.

A timeout indicates a deadline was exceeded, not necessarily a failure.

Failover ensures systems remain operational by managing leader changes during failures.
