go-resilience-layer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenge of handling failures in microservice communication by providing a standardized way to implement resilience patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Circuit Breaker: Prevents repeated calls to a failing service.
• Exponential Backoff Retry: Retries failed requests with increasing delays and jitter.
• Rate Limiting: Controls the rate of outbound requests to protect downstream services.
• OpenTelemetry Metrics: Optionally emits metrics for state transitions in the resilience layer.
• Use Case: When your Go microservice makes calls to an external API that is sometimes unstable, this skill can wrap those calls to ensure your service remains available and doesn't overload the failing API.

Quick Start

Generate a resilience layer for my Go microservice client calls with a 50% failure threshold and 3 retry attempts.
