Microservices - Resilience Patterns
What is the main goal of graceful degradation in microservices?
ATo increase the number of microservices for better scaling
BTo immediately stop all services when one fails
CTo keep the system running with reduced functionality during failures
DTo replace microservices with a monolithic architecture
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand the concept of graceful degradation

    Graceful degradation means the system continues to work even if some parts fail, but with limited features.
  2. Step 2: Identify the goal in microservices context

    In microservices, it ensures users still get responses, possibly simpler or fallback, instead of total failure.
  3. Final Answer:

    To keep the system running with reduced functionality during failures -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Graceful degradation = reduced functionality during failure [OK]
Quick Trick: Graceful degradation means partial working, not full stop [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking graceful degradation means full system shutdown
  • Confusing graceful degradation with scaling techniques
  • Assuming it replaces microservices with monolith
