A resilience framework for fault-tolerance in cloud-based microservice applications

Abstract

Cloud-distributed systems offer significant opportunities for fault-tolerant applications. Microservices have gained significant acceptance as a cloud-based architecture for building fault-tolerant cloud applications. The primary aim of this study is to develop a dependable resilience framework, incorporating appropriate design patterns, that can be applied to any cloud applications. This framework combines a bulkhead utilizing a little law approach and an auto-retry circuit breaker, which can be seen as a fault tolerance pattern. This will eliminate the need for manual setting of design patterns, resulting in maximum throughput, availability of resources and the performance can be increased up to 55.3% from the average execution duration.
