| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Retry Policies | Configure the number of retries, delay between retries, and other parameters when a service fails to respond. Helps prevent cascading failures and reduce the likelihood of timeouts. Envoy, a popular service mesh proxy, offers robust retry policies out of the box |
| Timeouts | Set timeouts for individual services or circuits to prevent hung requests that can cause service instability. The service mesh can redirect the request to a different instance or terminate the request altogether upon timeout |
| Bulkheads | Isolate services from each other, preventing cascading failures. Service meshes allow creating bulkheads based on criteria like service names, labels, or tags. Ensure that if one service fails, it doesn't affect other services, minimizing blast radius |
