5.2.5 Circuit Breaker and Fault Tolerance Patterns
Circuit Breaker Implementation:
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Closed: System Healthy
Closed --> Open: Failure Threshold Reached<br/>(5 failures in 10 seconds)
Open --> Half_Open: Timeout Period<br/>(30 seconds)
Half_Open --> Closed: Success
Half_Open --> Open: Failure
Closed: Allow All Requests<br/>Monitor Failures
Open: Fail Fast<br/>Return Cached Response
Half_Open: Limited Requests<br/>Test System Health
Fault Tolerance Strategy:
- Database Circuit Breakers: Protect against database overload
- Redis Circuit Breakers: Fallback to database when cache fails
- Kafka Circuit Breakers: Queue messages locally during Kafka outages
- API Circuit Breakers: Rate limiting and graceful degradation
- Bulkhead Pattern: Isolate critical resources (reservation processing from reporting)
- Timeout Management: Aggressive timeouts (< 100ms for cache, < 1s for DB)

- Nullable deletion timestamp for tracking when record was soft deleted
- User identification for deletion attribution
- Textual reason for deletion for audit purposes
- Audit Fields:
- Creation timestamp with automatic population
- Creator user identification for accountability
- Update timestamp with automatic maintenance
- Last modifier user identification
- Data Retention:
- Nullable hard deletion schedule date
- Configurable retention period (default: 7 years for compliance)
Entity-Specific Schema Extensions: Entities like reservations shall extend the base schema with domain-specific fields while maintaining all soft delete capabilities and audit requirements.
