Implement Resilient Circuit Breaker for External API Calls

microservices reliability error-handling design-patterns
Prompt
Design a PHP class that implements a circuit breaker pattern for managing external API interactions. The implementation should track consecutive failures, automatically disable API calls after 5 failed attempts, provide a cool-down period of 3 minutes, and include logging mechanisms. Demonstrate how this pattern prevents cascading failures and improves system reliability across microservices.

Use Cases
  • Ensuring service reliability during high traffic periods.
  • Preventing system crashes from unresponsive APIs.
  • Improving user experience by handling API failures gracefully.
Tips for Best Results
  • Set appropriate failure thresholds based on historical data.
  • Implement logging to monitor circuit breaker status.
  • Test the circuit breaker under various load conditions.
