[Verse 1] When systems start to fail and services break down Your users get frustrated, servers hit the ground But there's a way to build resilience in your code Four patterns that will help you carry any load [Chorus] Circuit breakers stop the cascade Bulkheads keep your service safe Retry with backoff, don't give up too fast Timeout handling makes your system last Resilience patterns, build them strong Keep your distributed systems running all day long [Verse 2] Circuit breaker watches when your calls go wrong Too many failures means it won't play along Open state blocks requests, gives your service rest Closed state lets them through when it passes the test [Chorus] Circuit breakers stop the cascade Bulkheads keep your service safe Retry with backoff, don't give up too fast Timeout handling makes your system last Resilience patterns, build them strong Keep your distributed systems running all day long [Verse 3] Bulkheads isolate like compartments on a ship One service goes down but others keep their grip Separate thread pools and resources apart When failure hits one section, it won't break your heart [Bridge] When network calls are failing, don't retry right away Exponential backoff gives the system time to play Start with short delays then slowly make them longer This approach will make your distributed system stronger [Verse 4] Timeout cascades happen when delays pile up One slow service makes the whole chain hiccup Set proper timeouts at every single layer Circuit breakers help when things get scarier [Chorus] Circuit breakers stop the cascade Bulkheads keep your service safe Retry with backoff, don't give up too fast Timeout handling makes your system last Resilience patterns, build them strong Keep your distributed systems running all day long [Outro] Four patterns working together as a team Building fault-tolerant systems, living the dream Resilience patterns, they're your safety net The strongest distributed system architecture you'll get
