Hystrix

Hystrix (https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix) is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services, and third-party libraries, stop cascading failures; and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.

Hystrix is designed to do the following:

• Stop failure cascades in a complex distributed system
• Protect the system from the failures of dependencies over the network
• Control the latency of the system
• Recover rapidly and fail faster to prevent cascading
• Fall back and gracefully degrade when possible
• Enable near-real-time monitoring, alerting, and operational control

Applications in complex distributed architectures have a lot of dependencies, each of ...
