What to watch
Right click the payments API and inject a crash. Once half the calls in a four second window fail, the breaker opens and the rest fail in microseconds instead of waiting out a timeout. After three seconds it closes and probes again.What it is made of
Under load
Measured by running this design through the simulator at multiples of its own offered rate of 100 requests a second. Twenty seconds of simulated time, one fixed seed, so the same numbers come out every time.This design holds 150 requests a second with 0% errors. At 200 it is losing 20% of them.
