This is incredibly generous context... thank you. A few of these hit close to problems I'm thinking about. The Decider pattern you're describing (reading keys from memcache to deci…

I know this sounds weird, but it is in fact self-hosting first :) The reason why I only launched the cloud version of it is just so I could have a faster iteration pace in the back…

> I don't really see what problem this solves. If you have proper timeouts and circuit breakers in your service this shouldn't really matter. Each service discovering by their own …

You're right, for intra-cluster calls where failures are scoped between the node itself and the infra around it, per-instance breakers are what you want. I wouldn't suggest central…

Great question. Openfuse has a "systems" concept for exactly this. Each system is an isolated unit within an environment with its own breaker state. So you'd have us-east/stripe an…

Feel free to take a look at the SDK code if you want to, it's open :) https://github.com/openfuseio/openfuse-sdk-node

It makes the awareness global so instances stop independently hammering a service that the rest of the fleet already knows is down. You can always override manually too and it will…

Yup, that is true for both Cloud and Self-hosted, it never blocks any executions by any external factors other than the breaker is KNOWN as open. The state sync and the hot path ar…

Good question, that's exactly why the trip decision isn't based on a single instance seeing a few errors. Openfuse aggregates failure metrics across the fleet before making a decis…

Totally possible, and some teams do. You need a state store, a evaluator job, a propagation layer to push state changes to every instance, a SDK, a dashboard, alerting, audit loggi…

I agree with more of this than you might expect. On-prem: You're right, and it's on the roadmap. For teams at the scale you're describing, a hosted control plane doesn't make sense…

Hey HN! I'm Rodrigo, I run distributed systems across a few countries. I built Openfuse because of something that kept bugging me about how we all do circuit breakers. If you're ru…

Really interesting idea! I've only seen stuff like that in ETL pipelines (which are a pain). This sits somehow between a python notebook and a ETL pipeline. By the way, I just shar…

I've been building Openfuse ( https://openfuse.io ), a centralized circuit breaker platform. Started building it about a year ago after dealing with the same problem across multipl…
