Fallback message should be seen : Fallback call, seems employee service is down. Shut down the employee-service application. Step 8: Edit application.properties to specify the application port on which hystrix-client should be running and url on which employee-service is available, as follows:Į= Step 9: Move to hystrix-client directory and run command: mvn spring-boot:run.
#Netflix client statistics code
Return "Fallback call, seems employee service is specified above is used to wrap code that will execute potentially risky functionality with fault and latency tolerance, statistics and performance metrics capture, circuit breaker and bulkhead specified above is used to control HystrixCommand behavior. Return restTemplate.getForObject(uri, String.class) URI uri = URI.create(employeeServiceUrl + "/list") RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate() Import class EmployeeServiceApplication ) Step 2: Edit EmployeeServiceApplication.java to add a method which returns a list of employee, as follows: Step 1: Go to and create a new project employee-service adding the Web starters, based on the following image: Now, let’s start creating employee-service microservice running on port 8090 and client to access the same along with Hystrix Dashboard following below steps: If the request succeeds, the circuit-breaker transitions to CLOSED and all requests made against that circuit-breaker are passed through to the service. If the request fails, the circuit-breaker returns to the OPEN state for the duration of the sleep window. After some amount of time, the next single request is let through (this is the HALF-OPEN state). While it is open, it short-circuits all requests made against that circuit-breaker. It implements the circuit breaker pattern which work on circuit-breaker transitions from CLOSED to OPEN when a circuit meets a specified threshold and error percentage exceeds the threshold error percentage. It does this by isolating points of access between the services, stopping cascading failures across them, and providing fallback options, all of which improve our system’s overall resiliency. Hystrix is a library that helps us control the interactions between the distributed services by adding latency tolerance and fault tolerance logic. Before diving into coding, let’s understand in brief what Hystrix is and how it works internally. In this post I tried to showcase a thin example of our problem and how Hystrix solved the same using a single microservice and a client to access it along with Hystrix Dashboard. To implement the same I was looking for some implementation of circuit breaker pattern and finally came across Netflix Hystrix library which I found is the best suited library as per our application.


Recently in one of my project I got a requirement to execute a fallback call for a failing webservice call.
