Practise the standard verbs for describing circuit breakers tripping and recovering.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'A string of downstream failures will ___ the circuit breaker into an open state.'
We say failures will 'trip' the breaker — the standard, established collocation for triggering the open state. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a failure threshold so a handful of blips doesn't trip the breaker unnecessarily.'
We 'set a threshold' — the standard, simple collocation for configuring a limit. The other options are less idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'Once open, the breaker will ___ requests immediately instead of waiting on a doomed call.'
We 'reject' requests — the standard collocation for refusing calls while a breaker is open. The other options are less precise here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a half-open state so the breaker can test recovery without a full flood of traffic.'
We 'allow' a half-open state — the standard collocation for permitting limited trial traffic through. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ breaker state changes to a dashboard so an open circuit never goes unnoticed.'
We 'publish' state changes — the standard collocation for surfacing them for observability. The other options are less idiomatic here.
