Hi,
after attending the presentation on the idea of circuit breakers for (REST) services at this years OSDC, I was curious about this component you made available to the community and installed it on my personal environment.
After installing this one, I realised that there was also another component in the Forge that implemented the idea of a circuit breaker, namely the Circuit Breaker component . When I wanted to install also this one on my personal environment through Service Studio I got a warning stating that this would result in a problem in my environment. I neglected the warning and installed it. Once the installation was finished I realised that your component was gone from my environment.
After checking what could be the cause for the problem I realised that your application replaced the Circuit Breaker application. My hypothesis is that you started working on this component from the Circuit Breaker component that was already available on the Forge. My guess is that you forgot to create a clone of the module in the Circuit Breaker application before submitting your component to the Forge. If this is the case, I would suggest you to do it so that everyone can have both components installed on their environments if they are willing to check the differences between the two.
Kind regards and thanks for the clear and informative presentation at OSDC.
Hi Pedro, We've just published a new version that should fix the issue you reported.
Hi Pedro, Thank you for your feedback. We did have a warning about this during the publish of this component. We thought we fixed it. As you already guessed we started with the Circuit Breaker module you mentioned, but quickly found out that it was more of a demo of the concept than something we would use on a large scale in production. We have then made a (pretty much) full rewrite of the module.
We will clone our module and publish this clone as an update to the Forge. I assume this will fix this issue. We will also update the documentation to mention the component that was our inspiration and the blog post that came with it.
Hi Kilian, thanks. Appreciated.
