Resilience in .NET: Building Fault-Tolerant Applications - Circuit Breakers
Short summary
Learn how to build fault-tolerant microservices in .NET 9 using resilience patterns including circuit breakers, retries with exponential backoff, and intelligent timeouts. Microsoft.Extensions.Resilience provides both standard handlers and custom pipeline builders with practical configuration examples for real-world scenarios. These patterns prevent cascading failures by isolating failures and giving struggling services time to recover.
