Resilience4j is a lightweight fault tolerance library designed for functional programming. Resilience4j provides higher-order functions (decorators) to enhance any functional interface, lambda expression or method reference with a Circuit Breaker, Rate Limiter, Retry or Bulkhead. You can stack more than one decorator on any functional interface, lambda expression or method reference. The advantage is that you have the choice to select the decorators you need and nothing else.
Resilience4j 2 requires Java 17.
// Create a CircuitBreaker with default configuration
CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker = CircuitBreaker.ofDefaults("backendService");
// Create a Retry with default configuration
// 3 retry attempts and a fixed time interval between retries of 500ms
Retry retry = Retry.ofDefaults("backendService");
// Create a Bulkhead with default configuration
Bulkhead bulkhead = Bulkhead.ofDefaults("backendService");
Supplier<String> supplier = () -> backendService
.doSomething(param1, param2);
// Decorate your call to backendService.doSomething()
// with a Bulkhead, CircuitBreaker and Retry
// **note: you will need the resilience4j-all dependency for this
Supplier<String> decoratedSupplier = Decorators.ofSupplier(supplier)
.withCircuitBreaker(circuitBreaker)
.withBulkhead(bulkhead)
.withRetry(retry)
.decorate();
// Execute the decorated supplier and recover from any exception
String result = Try.ofSupplier(decoratedSupplier)
.recover(throwable -> "Hello from Recovery").get();
// When you don't want to decorate your lambda expression,
// but just execute it and protect the call by a CircuitBreaker.
String result = circuitBreaker
.executeSupplier(backendService::doSomething);
// You can also run the supplier asynchronously in a ThreadPoolBulkhead
ThreadPoolBulkhead threadPoolBulkhead = ThreadPoolBulkhead
.ofDefaults("backendService");
// The Scheduler is needed to schedule a timeout on a non-blocking CompletableFuture
ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(3);
TimeLimiter timeLimiter = TimeLimiter.of(Duration.ofSeconds(1));
CompletableFuture<String> future = Decorators.ofSupplier(supplier)
.withThreadPoolBulkhead(threadPoolBulkhead)
.withTimeLimiter(timeLimiter, scheduler)
.withCircuitBreaker(circuitBreaker)
.withFallback(asList(TimeoutException.class, CallNotPermittedException.class, BulkheadFullException.class),
throwable -> "Hello from Recovery")
.get().toCompletableFuture();
With Resilience4j you don’t have to go all-in, you can pick what you need. |
Setup and usage is described in our User Guide.
Resilience4j provides several core modules:
resilience4j-circuitbreaker: Circuit breaking
resilience4j-ratelimiter: Rate limiting
resilience4j-bulkhead: Bulkheading
resilience4j-retry: Automatic retrying (sync and async)
resilience4j-timelimiter: Timeout handling
resilience4j-cache: Result caching
There are also add-on modules for metrics, Feign, Kotlin, Spring, Ratpack, Vertx, RxJava2 and more.
Find out full list of modules in our User Guide. |
For core modules package or Decorators builder see resilience4j-all.

name | how does it work? | description | links |
---|---|---|---|
Retry |
repeats failed executions |
Many faults are transient and may self-correct after a short delay. |
|
Circuit Breaker |
temporary blocks possible failures |
When a system is seriously struggling, failing fast is better than making clients wait. |
|
Rate Limiter |
limits executions/period |
Limit the rate of incoming requests. |
|
Time Limiter |
limits duration of execution |
Beyond a certain wait interval, a successful result is unlikely. |
|
Bulkhead |
limits concurrent executions |
Resources are isolated into pools so that if one fails, the others will continue working. |
|
Cache |
memorizes a successful result |
Some proportion of requests may be similar. |
|
Fallback |
provides an alternative result for failures |
Things will still fail - plan what you will do when that happens. |
Above table is based on Polly: resilience policies.
To find more information about resilience patterns check Talks section. Find out more about components in our User Guide. |
Setup and usage in Spring Boot 2 is demonstrated here.
The following example shows how to decorate a lambda expression (Supplier) with a CircuitBreaker and how to retry the call at most 3 times when an exception occurs. You can configure the wait interval between retries and also configure a custom backoff algorithm.
The example uses Vavr’s Try Monad to recover from an exception and invoke another lambda expression as a fallback, when even all retries have failed.
// Simulates a Backend Service
public interface BackendService {
String doSomething();
}
// Create a CircuitBreaker (use default configuration)
CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker = CircuitBreaker.ofDefaults("backendName");
// Create a Retry with at most 3 retries and a fixed time interval between retries of 500ms
Retry retry = Retry.ofDefaults("backendName");
// Decorate your call to BackendService.doSomething() with a CircuitBreaker
Supplier<String> decoratedSupplier = CircuitBreaker
.decorateSupplier(circuitBreaker, backendService::doSomething);
// Decorate your call with automatic retry
decoratedSupplier = Retry
.decorateSupplier(retry, decoratedSupplier);
// Use of Vavr's Try to
// execute the decorated supplier and recover from any exception
String result = Try.ofSupplier(decoratedSupplier)
.recover(throwable -> "Hello from Recovery").get();
// When you don't want to decorate your lambda expression,
// but just execute it and protect the call by a CircuitBreaker.
String result = circuitBreaker.executeSupplier(backendService::doSomething);
The following example shows how to decorate an Observable by using the custom RxJava operator.
CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker = CircuitBreaker.ofDefaults("testName");
Observable.fromCallable(backendService::doSomething)
.compose(CircuitBreakerOperator.of(circuitBreaker))
Resilience4j also provides RxJava operators for RateLimiter , Bulkhead , TimeLimiter and Retry .

The following example shows how to decorate a Mono by using the custom Reactor operator.
CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker = CircuitBreaker.ofDefaults("testName");
Mono.fromCallable(backendService::doSomething)
.transformDeferred(CircuitBreakerOperator.of(circuitBreaker))
Resilience4j also provides Reactor operators for RateLimiter , Bulkhead , TimeLimiter and Retry .

The following example shows how to restrict the calling rate of some method to be not higher than 1 request/second.
// Create a custom RateLimiter configuration
RateLimiterConfig config = RateLimiterConfig.custom()
.timeoutDuration(Duration.ofMillis(100))
.limitRefreshPeriod(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
.limitForPeriod(1)
.build();
// Create a RateLimiter
RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.of("backendName", config);
// Decorate your call to BackendService.doSomething()
Supplier<String> restrictedSupplier = RateLimiter
.decorateSupplier(rateLimiter, backendService::doSomething);
// First call is successful
Try<String> firstTry = Try.ofSupplier(restrictedSupplier);
assertThat(firstTry.isSuccess()).isTrue();
// Second call fails, because the call was not permitted
Try<String> secondTry = Try.of(restrictedSupplier);
assertThat(secondTry.isFailure()).isTrue();
assertThat(secondTry.getCause()).isInstanceOf(RequestNotPermitted.class);
There are two isolation strategies and bulkhead implementations.
The following example shows how to decorate a lambda expression with a Bulkhead. A Bulkhead can be used to limit the amount of parallel executions. This bulkhead abstraction should work well across a variety of threading and io models. It is based on a semaphore, and unlike Hystrix, does not provide "shadow" thread pool option.
// Create a custom Bulkhead configuration
BulkheadConfig config = BulkheadConfig.custom()
.maxConcurrentCalls(150)
.maxWaitDuration(100)
.build();
Bulkhead bulkhead = Bulkhead.of("backendName", config);
Supplier<String> supplier = Bulkhead
.decorateSupplier(bulkhead, backendService::doSomething);
The following example shows how to use a lambda expression with a ThreadPoolBulkhead which uses a bounded queue and a fixed thread pool.
// Create a custom ThreadPoolBulkhead configuration
ThreadPoolBulkheadConfig config = ThreadPoolBulkheadConfig.custom()
.maxThreadPoolSize(10)
.coreThreadPoolSize(2)
.queueCapacity(20)
.build();
ThreadPoolBulkhead bulkhead = ThreadPoolBulkhead.of("backendName", config);
// Decorate or execute immediately a lambda expression with a ThreadPoolBulkhead.
Supplier<CompletionStage<String>> supplier = ThreadPoolBulkhead
.decorateSupplier(bulkhead, backendService::doSomething);
CompletionStage<String> execution = bulkhead
.executeSupplier(backendService::doSomething);
CircuitBreaker

, Cache
, Bulkhead
, TimeLimiter
and Retry
components emit a stream of events.
It can be consumed for logging, assertions and any other purpose.
A CircuitBreakerEvent
can be a state transition, a circuit breaker reset, a successful call, a recorded error or an ignored error.
All events contains additional information like event creation time and processing duration of the call.
If you want to consume events, you have to register an event consumer.
circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher()
.onSuccess(event -> logger.info(...))
.onError(event -> logger.info(...))
.onIgnoredError(event -> logger.info(...))
.onReset(event -> logger.info(...))
.onStateTransition(event -> logger.info(...));
// Or if you want to register a consumer listening to all events, you can do:
circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher()
.onEvent(event -> logger.info(...));
You can use RxJava or Spring Reactor Adapters to convert the EventPublisher
into a Reactive Stream.
The advantage of a Reactive Stream is that you can use RxJava’s observeOn
operator to specify a different Scheduler that the CircuitBreaker will use to send notifications to its observers/consumers.
RxJava2Adapter.toFlowable(circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher())
.filter(event -> event.getEventType() == Type.ERROR)
.cast(CircuitBreakerOnErrorEvent.class)
.subscribe(event -> logger.info(...))
You can also consume events from other components. Find out more in our User Guide. |
