Fault Tolerance provides a collection of tools that prevent code from failing by making it more resilient. Most of these tools are inspired by development good practices (such as retry or fallback) or well-known development patterns (such as circuit breaker or bulkhead).
Fault Tolerance is based on CDI and, more precisely, on the CDI interceptor implementation. It also relies on the MicroProfile Config specification to allow external configuration for Fault Tolerance policies.
The main idea of the specification is to decouple business logic from Fault Tolerance boilerplate code. To achieve that, the specification defines interceptor-binding annotations to apply Fault Tolerance policies on a method execution or on a class (in that case, all class methods have the same policy).
