Graceful Degradation: Designing Systems That Fail Well

In the world of software engineering, we often strive for perfection—zero downtime, flawless deployments, and always-on services. But reality has other plans. Networks fail, APIs go down, and sometimes, the unexpected happens. The question isn’t if your system will fail, but how it will behave when it does.

Building Resilient Systems: A Practical Guide to Circuit Breakers, Retries, and Backpressure

In the world of distributed systems, failures are inevitable. Whether it's a network glitch, a slow downstream service, or a complete outage, resilient systems are designed to handle these failures gracefully. In this post, we'll explore three key patterns for building resilient systems: Circuit Breakers, Retries,
