In a microservice system using Bulkhead pattern, if one service's connection pool is exhausted, what is the expected system behavior?
AAll services stop processing requests
BOther services take over the exhausted pool's load
CThe entire system crashes
DOnly that service's requests are delayed or rejected
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Recall Bulkhead pattern effect on resource exhaustion

    Bulkhead isolates failures; exhaustion affects only that service.

  2. Step 2: Match expected behavior

    Only the affected service delays or rejects requests; others continue normally.

  3. Final Answer:

    Only that service's requests are delayed or rejected -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Bulkhead limits failure impact to one service [OK]
Quick Trick: Resource exhaustion affects only isolated service [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming system-wide failure
  • Thinking other services share the exhausted pool
  • Believing system crashes
