Excellent writeup indeed. At work we’ve heavily invested in the circuit-breaker pattern [0] following a cascading failure from last year and since then we’ve managed to avoid many large-scale outages. Very interesting to see other solutions to this problem.

Awesome article. The author has absolutely nailed the issues one faces with distributed systems under stress.
