Too Long; Didn't Read
A Microservices architecture makes it possible to <strong>isolate failures</strong> through well-defined service boundaries. But like in every distributed system, there is a <strong>higher chance</strong> for network, hardware or application level issues. As a consequence of service dependencies, any component can be temporarily unavailable for their consumers. To minimize the impact of partial outages we need to build fault tolerant services that can <strong>gracefully</strong> respond to certain types of outages.
