Rate Limiting, Circuit Breakers & Resilience Patterns

आप क्या सीखेंगे

• Explain how slow dependencies and uncontrolled retries cause cascading failures.
• Set deadlines and timeouts and design safe retries with backoff, jitter, budgets and idempotency keys.
• Configure circuit breakers, bulkheads, fallbacks and kill switches with common libraries.
• Implement and compare rate-limiting algorithms, including distributed limits in Redis.
• Protect services from overload with load shedding, adaptive concurrency limits, back-pressure and client-side throttling.
• Apply resilience policies in meshes and gateways, test them with fault injection and monitor them in production.
