5 resilience patterns
Resilience Patterns
Mini field guides covering the throttles, fallbacks, and isolation tricks used in the simulator. Each entry explains the problem, the control loop, failure modes, and how the sim animates it.
Why
Cut failure blast radius with proven patterns.
How
Step-by-step explanations plus Mermaid diagrams.
In the sim
See how each control shows up in the visual flow.
Guide
Bulkheads
Isolate capacity so one problem doesn't sink everything.

Rate Limiting (Token Bucket)
Smooth bursts, enforce fairness, and protect downstream capacity.

Retries
Recover from transient failures without melting your own system.
