Abstract

The circuit breaker add-on for Red Hat build of Node.js is a fully supported implementation of the open source Opossum module that provides circuit breaker functionality. You can use the circuit breaker add-on in your Node.js applications to ensure that application failures are monitored and handled appropriately. When using the circuit breaker add-on, you can also define a fallback function to perform a specified action whenever an application failure occurs. You can also define event handlers to listen for different types of circuit breaker events.
