Circuit Breaker State Machine

Drive failures through a breaker and watch closed/open/half-open transitions.

When does the breaker flip — and when should it half-open?

Breaker spends a lot of time open — upstream is sick or threshold is tight.

fail 25% @ 50 rps → ~10 fails in 0.80s

Method

  • Deterministic local model of the mechanism — knobs recompute outputs instantly with no network.
  • Numbers are teaching approximations, not production capacity guarantees.
