As far as I know most circuit breakers are not a stand alone process, but either part of a service mesh like istio https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/circuit-breaking/ or part of the service. Spring for example has an abstraction called Spring Cloud Circuit breaker https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-circuitbreaker . There are several implementations in Go, e.g. https://github.com/sony/gobreaker or https://github.com/mercari/go-circuitbreaker
