what is circuit breaker in microservice

 





 A circuit breaker is a design pattern used in microservice architecture to improve the resilience and fault tolerance of the system.

In a microservice architecture, multiple services work together to deliver a business function. When a service is not available, the downstream services depending on it may start to fail as well, leading to a cascading failure.

A circuit breaker helps prevent cascading failures by monitoring the status of the dependent services. If a dependent service is not responding, the circuit breaker trips and redirects the traffic to a fallback mechanism, such as a cache or a default response. The circuit breaker periodically attempts to reconnect to the dependent service, and once it's available, it resumes directing traffic to it.

The circuit breaker pattern helps prevent failures from spreading across the system, improves the availability of the overall system, and can help reduce the load on dependent services.

What is JDK, JRE and JVM?

What are JDK, JRE, and JVM: JDK :- Java Development Kit (in short JDK) is Kit which provides the environment to Develop and execute(run ) the Java program. For eg.

You are going to need  J-D-K  for that purpose for this you just need to go to the official website of sun or oracle to download the latest version of JDK into your machine. Hence, JDK is a kit(or package) which includes two things i) Development Tools(to provide an environment to develop your java programs) and ii) JRE (to execute your java program). JDK is only used by Java Developers. JRE: - Java Runtime Environment (to say JRE) is an installation package which provides an environment to only run(not develop) the java program(or application)onto your machine. For eg(continuing with the same example) after developing your accounting ap...

Dealing with Passwords in Java Applications: 5 Best Practices You Should Follow

 In modern Java applications—whether core Java applications or enterprise-level web applications—working with passwords is inevitable. Passwords are sensitive pieces of information, just like Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and if you’re handling real human data in systems such as online banking or healthcare portals, it’s critical to implement best practices for dealing with passwords securely. Below, I’ll share five essential best practices that I’ve learned and recommend for managing passwords, particularly when you are handling authentication and authorization. While these tips are a good starting point, be sure to tailor them to your application’s requirements and security policies. 1) Use SSL/TLS to Transfer Username and Password When users send passwords over the network, it is crucial to use SSL/TLS to encrypt the communication. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from eavesdroppers. Tools like LDAP and Active Directory are commonly used for storing usern...
