Retry, Bulkhead & Rate Limiting

Circuit Breaker is Resilience4j's headline pattern, but three quieter ones next to it matter just as much in a real production system. This module is those three.

Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Add a @Retry annotation to a call that occasionally fails due to a transient network blip.
  • Intermediate: Explain what a bulkhead isolates, and why the name is a nautical metaphor.
  • Advanced: Combine retry, bulkhead, and rate limiting with a circuit breaker on the same method without them working against each other.
