17 - The Throttling, Retry and Circuit Breaker Patterns

How are you thinking about handling load on your application, scaling out perhaps? But what about if you’re building a multi-tenant service and worried about safeguarding resources on a per tenant basis?

Then tune in to this episode where Chris is joined by John Downs, talking about the Throttling, Retry and Circuit Breaker Patterns. This is another episode in the series of Architecting for the Cloud, one pattern at a time.
