The resilient switchboard.

Disconnect the primary route and watch traffic switch to a backup path.

The problem

What the system needs to solve.

A service relies on an upstream integration. When that connection drops, operators need to see the failure and know where requests are going.

FIG. 01 / SWITCHBOARDSCENE STUDY

How it fits together.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Track the health of the primary connection and show when it changes.

  2. 02

    Reroute

    Move eligible requests to a fallback path with a clear recovery policy.

  3. 03

    Recover

    Restore the preferred route when healthy and reconcile any queued work.
