  • Hystrix

    Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and 3rd party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.

  • Let met explain. Request/Reply can need retry but its latency and retry constraints are far different than Pub/Sub (aka fire and forget). Request/Reply retry patterns are best seen in Netflix Hystrix w/ the bulkhead pattern.

  • javaslang-circuitbreaker

    Resilience4j is a fault tolerance library designed for Java8 and functional programming

  • Hystrix as been deprecated in favour of https://github.com/resilience4j/resilience4j

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Springy-Store-Microservices

    Springy Store is a conceptual simple μServices-based project using the latest cutting-edge technologies, to demonstrate how the Store services are created to be a cloud-native and 12-factor app agnostic. Those μServices are developed based on Spring Boot & Cloud framework that implements cloud-native intuitive, design patterns, and best practices.

  • api-layer

    The API Mediation Layer provides a single point of access for mainframe service REST APIs.

  • failsafe

    Fault tolerance and resilience patterns for the JVM

  • I like Failsafe personally. Nice clear API.

  • java-slack-sdk

    Slack Developer Kit (including Bolt for Java) for any JVM language

  • Slack's API Client is fairly robust, with retries, async client, rate limiting support.
