In a microservices circuit breaker implementation, what state does the breaker transition to immediately after the OPEN state timeout expires?
easy📝 Conceptual Q2 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand OPEN state
The circuit breaker is OPEN when it blocks calls due to failures.Step 2: Timeout expiration
After the timeout, the breaker allows limited calls to test service health.Step 3: Transition state
This limited test phase is the HALF-OPEN state.Final Answer:
HALF-OPEN -> Option CQuick Check:
Timeout after OPEN leads to HALF-OPEN [OK]
Quick Trick: Timeout after OPEN leads to HALF-OPEN state [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming it goes directly to CLOSED after timeout
- Confusing OPEN state with DISABLED
- Believing it stays OPEN indefinitely
