1. Implementing Resilient Microservices with Resilience4j

Modern microservices need to handle transient failures gracefully. Resilience4j, integrated with Spring Boot, provides patterns like Circuit Breaker, Retry, and Rate Limiter.

Example: Circuit Breaker

@CircuitBreaker(name = "userService", fallbackMethod = "fallback")
public String getUserDetails(String userId) {
    return restTemplate.getForObject("http://user-service/users/" + userId, String.class);
}

public String fallback(String userId, Throwable throwable) {
    return "Fallback response for user " + userId;
}

Steps:

1. Add Resilience4j dependencies to pom.xml/build.gradle.
2. Configure properties like failure thresholds and timeout durations in application.yml/application.properties.
3. Annotate methods to enable resilience patterns.
