Methods for ensuring fault tolerance when working with unreliable external APIs

livecode

Task condition

The system interacts with external APIs that can behave unpredictably:

  • respond slowly (timeouts);
  • return errors (maintenance, request limits);
  • partially lose transmitted data. It is required to design a mechanism that allows the service to reliably interact with such APIs, ensuring correct request handling even during temporary unavailability or errors.
