Service request fast fail circuit breaker

摘要

Systems and methods for processing a request from a client using a service request circuit breaker are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a request evaluator for receiving the client request and generating an external request. A request transmitter sends the external request to an external server. An external channel monitor evaluates how the external server responds to the external request. A service request circuit breaker activates in response to the monitor determining that the external server is unavailable. A persistent data store instantiates a queue. The queue stores the external request in response to the monitor determining that the external server is unavailable. The queue stores a second external request before it is sent to the external server if the service request circuit breaker is activated. The external server monitoring component evaluates how the external server responds to a periodic ping.
