• Hystrix

  19 23,886 2.7 Java

  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.

  

Netflix was talking alot about circuit breaks a few years ago, and had the Hystrix project. Looks like Hystrix is discontinued, so I'm not sure if there are good library solutions that are easy to adopt. Overall I don't see it getting talked about that frequently... beyond just exponential backoff inside a retry loop.

• post-mortems

  A collection of postmortems. Sorry for the delay in merging PRs!

This isn't a good example of an RCA - as other commenters have noted, it's outrightly lying about some issues during the incident, and using creative language to dance around other problems many people encountered.

If you want to dive into postmortems, there are some repos linking other examples
