Let's start at the beginning. What is resilience? I like the definition in this post:
The intrinsic ability of a system to adjust its functioning prior to, during, or following changes and disturbances, so that it can sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions
As it is a broad term, I will focus on communication between microservices in this post. To do this, I created two services using Go: serviceA and serviceB (my creativity was not high when writing this post).
The initial code for both was as follows:
package main
// serviceA
import (
"encoding/json"
"io"
"log/slog"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
type response struct {
Message string `json:"message"`
}
resp, err := http.Get("http://localhost:3001")
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var data response
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"messageA": "hello from service A","messageB": "` + data.Message + `"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
package main
//serviceB
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(middleware.Logger)
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"message": "hello from service B"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3001", r)
}
As you can see in the code, if serviceB has a problem, it will affect the functioning of serviceA, as it does not handle any communication failure. We will improve this by using lib failsafe-go.
According to the documentation on the official website:
Failsafe-go is a library for building resilient, fault tolerant Go applications. It works by wrapping functions with one or more resilience policies, which can be combined and composed as needed.
Let's start by applying some available policies and testing their composition.
The first policy we will test is the simplest, including a timeout to ensure that the connection is interrupted if serviceB takes too long to respond and the client knows why.
The first step was to change the serviceB so that it includes a delay to make it easier to demonstrate the scenario:
package main
//serviceB
import (
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(middleware.Logger)
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second) //add a delay to simulate a slow service
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"message": "hello from service B"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3001", r)
}
After installing failsafe-go, using the commands:
❯ cd serviceA ❯ go get github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go
The code of serviceA/main.go is:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"io"
"log/slog"
"net/http"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/failsafehttp"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/timeout"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
type response struct {
Message string `json:"message"`
}
// Create a Timeout for 1 second
timeout := newTimeout(logger)
// Use the Timeout with a failsafe RoundTripper
roundTripper := failsafehttp.NewRoundTripper(nil, timeout)
client := &http.Client{Transport: roundTripper}
resp, err := client.Get("http://localhost:3001")
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var data response
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"messageA": "hello from service A","messageB": "` + data.Message + `"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
func newTimeout(logger *slog.Logger) timeout.Timeout[*http.Response] {
return timeout.Builder[*http.Response](1 * time.Second).
OnTimeoutExceeded(func(e failsafe.ExecutionDoneEvent[*http.Response]) {
logger.Info("Connection timed out")
}).Build()
}
To test how it works, I used curl to access the serviceA:
❯ curl -v http://localhost:3000 * Host localhost:3000 was resolved. * IPv6: ::1 * IPv4: 127.0.0.1 * Trying [::1]:3000... * Connected to localhost (::1) port 3000 > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: localhost:3000 > User-Agent: curl/8.7.1 > Accept: */* > * Request completely sent off < HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error < Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 19:43:23 GMT < Content-Length: 45 < Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 < * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact Get "http://localhost:3001": timeout exceeded⏎
And the following output is generated by serviceA:
go run main.go
{"time":"2024-08-20T08:37:36.852886-03:00","level":"INFO","msg":"Connection timed out"}
{"time":"2024-08-20T08:37:36.856079-03:00","level":"ERROR","msg":"500: Internal Server Error","request":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:37:35.851262-03:00","method":"GET","host":"localhost:3000","path":"/","query":"","params":{},"route":"/","ip":"[::1]:63409","referer":"","length":0},"response":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:37:36.856046-03:00","latency":1004819000,"status":500,"length":45},"id":""}
This way, it is possible to see that the client (curl in this case) had an effective response and that serviceA was no significant impact.
Let's improve the resilience of our application by investigating another beneficial policy: retry.
Again, it was necessary to make a change to serviceB to add random errors:
package main
import (
"math/rand"
"net/http"
"strconv"
"time"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(middleware.Logger)
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
retryAfterDelay := 1 * time.Second
if fail() {
w.Header().Add("Retry-After", strconv.Itoa(int(retryAfterDelay.Seconds())))
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusServiceUnavailable)
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"message": "hello from service B"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3001", r)
}
func fail() bool {
if flipint := rand.Intn(2); flipint == 0 {
return true
}
return false
}
To make it easier to understand, I am showing one policy at a time, which is why serviceA was changed to the original version and not to the version with a timeout. Later, we will examine how to compose several policies to make the application more resilient.
The code serviceA/main.go looked like this:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"io"
"log/slog"
"net/http"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/failsafehttp"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/retrypolicy"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
type response struct {
Message string `json:"message"`
}
// Create a RetryPolicy that only handles 500 responses, with backoff delays between retries
retryPolicy := newRetryPolicy(logger)
// Use the RetryPolicy with a failsafe RoundTripper
roundTripper := failsafehttp.NewRoundTripper(nil, retryPolicy)
client := &http.Client{Transport: roundTripper}
resp, err := client.Get("http://localhost:3001")
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var data response
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"messageA": "hello from service A","messageB": "` + data.Message + `"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
func newRetryPolicy(logger *slog.Logger) retrypolicy.RetryPolicy[*http.Response] {
return retrypolicy.Builder[*http.Response]().
HandleIf(func(response *http.Response, _ error) bool {
return response != nil && response.StatusCode == http.StatusServiceUnavailable
}).
WithBackoff(time.Second, 10*time.Second).
OnRetryScheduled(func(e failsafe.ExecutionScheduledEvent[*http.Response]) {
logger.Info(fmt.Sprintf("Retry %d after delay of %d", e.Attempts(), e.Delay))
}).Build()
}
This way, if serviceB returns the status StatusServiceUnavailable (code 503), the connection will be attempted again at progressive intervals, thanks to the function configuration WithBackoff. The output of serviceA, when accessed via curl, should be something similar to:
go run main.go
{"time":"2024-08-20T08:43:38.297621-03:00","level":"INFO","msg":"200: OK","request":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:43:38.283715-03:00","method":"GET","host":"localhost:3000","path":"/","query":"","params":{},"route":"/","ip":"[::1]:63542","referer":"","length":0},"response":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:43:38.297556-03:00","latency":13840708,"status":200,"length":71},"id":""}

In this example, it is possible to see that errors occurred when accessing the serviceB, and the lib executed the connection again until it was successful. If the connection continues to give an error, the client will receive an error message ”http://localhost:3001": retries exceeded.
Let's go deeper into resilience by adding a circuit breaker to our project.
The circuit breaker concept is a more advanced policy that provides greater control over access to services. The pattern circuit breaker works in three states: closed (no errors), open (with errors, interrupts transmission), and semi-open (sends a limited number of requests to the service in difficulty to test its recovery).
To use this policy, I made a new version of serviceB so that it could generate more error scenarios and delays:
package main
import (
"math/rand"
"net/http"
"strconv"
"time"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(middleware.Logger)
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
retryAfterDelay := 1 * time.Second
if fail() {
w.Header().Add("Retry-After", strconv.Itoa(int(retryAfterDelay.Seconds())))
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusServiceUnavailable)
return
}
if sleep() {
time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"message": "hello from service B"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3001", r)
}
func fail() bool {
if flipint := rand.Intn(2); flipint == 0 {
return true
}
return false
}
func sleep() bool {
if flipint := rand.Intn(2); flipint == 0 {
return true
}
return false
}
And the code of serviceA:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"io"
"log/slog"
"net/http"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/circuitbreaker"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/failsafehttp"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
type response struct {
Message string `json:"message"`
}
// Create a CircuitBreaker that handles 503 responses and uses a half-open delay based on the Retry-After header
circuitBreaker := newCircuitBreaker(logger)
// Use the RetryPolicy with a failsafe RoundTripper
roundTripper := failsafehttp.NewRoundTripper(nil, circuitBreaker)
client := &http.Client{Transport: roundTripper}
sendGet := func() (*http.Response, error) {
resp, err := client.Get("http://localhost:3001")
return resp, err
}
maxRetries := 3
resp, err := sendGet()
for i := 0; i < maxRetries; i++ {
if err == nil && resp != nil && resp.StatusCode != http.StatusServiceUnavailable && resp.StatusCode != http.StatusTooManyRequests {
break
}
time.Sleep(circuitBreaker.RemainingDelay()) // Wait for circuit breaker's delay, provided by the Retry-After header
resp, err = sendGet()
}
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var data response
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"messageA": "hello from service A","messageB": "` + data.Message + `"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
func newCircuitBreaker(logger *slog.Logger) circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker[*http.Response] {
return circuitbreaker.Builder[*http.Response]().
HandleIf(func(response *http.Response, err error) bool {
return response != nil && response.StatusCode == http.StatusServiceUnavailable
}).
WithDelayFunc(failsafehttp.DelayFunc).
OnStateChanged(func(event circuitbreaker.StateChangedEvent) {
logger.Info(fmt.Sprintf("circuit breaker state changed from %s to %s", event.OldState.String(), event.NewState.String()))
}).
Build()
}
As we can see in the output of serviceA, the circuit breaker is working:
❯ go run main.go
{"time":"2024-08-20T08:51:37.770611-03:00","level":"INFO","msg":"circuit breaker state changed from closed to open"}

This policy allows greater control over errors, allowing serviceB to recover if it is experiencing a problem.
But what do you do when serviceB can no longer return, for whatever reason? In these cases, we can use a fallback.
The idea of this policy is to have an alternative if the desired service has a more severe problem and takes a long time to return. To do this, we will change the code serviceA:
package main
import (
"bytes"
"encoding/json"
"io"
"log/slog"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/failsafehttp"
"github.com/failsafe-go/failsafe-go/fallback"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fallback := newFallback(logger)
roundTripper := failsafehttp.NewRoundTripper(nil, fallback)
client := &http.Client{Transport: roundTripper}
resp, err := client.Get("http://localhost:3001")
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
type response struct {
Message string `json:"message"`
}
var data response
err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
if err != nil {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
w.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
return
}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"messageA": "hello from service A","messageB": "` + data.Message + `"}`))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
func newFallback(logger *slog.Logger) fallback.Fallback[*http.Response] {
resp := &http.Response{
StatusCode: http.StatusOK,
Header: map[string][]string{"Content-Type": {"application/json"}},
Body: io.NopCloser(bytes.NewBufferString(`{"message": "error accessing service B"}`)),
}
return fallback.BuilderWithResult[*http.Response](resp).
HandleIf(func(response *http.Response, err error) bool {
return response != nil && response.StatusCode == http.StatusServiceUnavailable
}).
OnFallbackExecuted(func(e failsafe.ExecutionDoneEvent[*http.Response]) {
logger.Info("Fallback executed result")
}).
Build()
}
In the function newFallback, we can see the creation of one http.Response that the lib will use if the user serviceB does not respond.
This feature allows us to respond to the client while the team responsible for serviceB have time to get the service up and running again.
The output of serviceA is something similar to this:
❯ go run main.go
{"time":"2024-08-20T08:55:27.326475-03:00","level":"INFO","msg":"200: OK","request":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:55:27.31306-03:00","method":"GET","host":"localhost:3000","path":"/","query":"","params":{},"route":"/","ip":"[::1]:63772","referer":"","length":0},"response":{"time":"2024-08-20T08:55:27.326402-03:00","latency":13343208,"status":200,"length":71},"id":""}

In the next step, we will combine the concepts we've seen to create a more resilient application.
To do this, we need to change the code of serviceA so that it makes use of the policies we have seen so far:
package main

In the code:
roundTripper := failsafehttp.NewRoundTripper(nil, fallback, retryPolicy, circuitBreaker, timeout)
It is possible to view the use of all defined policies. The lib will execute it in the "rightmost" order, that is:
timeout -> circuitBreaker -> retryPolicy -> fallback
We can see the execution of the policies by observing the serviceA output:

One of the advantages of microservices architecture is that we can break a complex domain into smaller, specialized services that communicate with each other to complete the necessary logic. Ensuring that this communication is resilient and will continue to work even in the face of failures and unforeseen events is fundamental. Using libraries such as failsafe-go makes this process easier.
You can find the codes presented in this post on my Github.
