how to design be resilient, fault tolerant microservices

Question

Accepted Answer

Designing resilient, fault tolerant microservices involves using redundancy, monitoring, and graceful degradation.

Implement redundancy by having multiple instances of each microservice running in different availability zones.
Use circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures by temporarily stopping requests to a failing service.
Monitor the health of microservices and automatically scale resources up or down based on demand.
Implement graceful degradation by providing fallback mechanisms when a service is unavailable.
Use distributed tracing to identify performance bottlenecks and failures in a microservices architecture.
