What happens when the machine where the

microservice is running fails ?

▪ Single microservice can fail or might not be available

to respond for a short time.

▪ Since clients and services are separate processes, a

service might not be able to respond in time for

client’s request.

▪ The service might be overloaded and responding

very slowly to requests or might not be accessible for

a short time because of network issues.

▪ If Service A calls Service B, which in turn calls Service

C, what happens when Service B is down ?

▪ What is your fallback plan in such a scenario ?

▪ How do you handle the complexity that comes with

cloud and microservices ?
