Circuit Breakers & Bulkheading for System Stability

[grantfox-oss]

Priority: High
Epic: Reliability & Stability

Description

Implement robust circuit breakers and bulkheading patterns to prevent cascading failures and ensure system stability during high load or component failures.

Direction

1. Complete circuit breaker implementation for all external services
2. Implement bulkheading to isolate failing components
3. Add graceful degradation strategies
4. Build failover mechanisms for critical systems
5. Create automated recovery procedures
6. Add chaos engineering tests to verify resilience

Definition of Done

• All external API calls have circuit breakers
• Failing components are isolated from affecting rest of system
• System degrades gracefully rather than failing completely
• Failovers work automatically for high-availability systems
• Chaos tests verify system resilience under failure conditions
