What is the difference between Exceptions and Result types in this context?

The skill explains how to use traditional Exceptions for unexpected conditions and Result types for explicit, type-safe handling of expected errors like validation failures.

Does it include patterns for distributed systems?

Yes, it includes universal patterns like the Circuit Breaker, which is essential for preventing cascading failures in microservices and distributed architectures.

How does this skill help with debugging?

By implementing structured error hierarchies and wrapping techniques, it ensures that error messages contain the necessary context and stack traces for faster troubleshooting.

Which programming languages are supported by this skill?

This skill provides specific patterns and code examples for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, and Go.

Desarrollo de API

Implements robust cross-language error handling strategies to build resilient, fault-tolerant applications and services.

Acerca de

This skill provides a comprehensive library of domain-specific error handling patterns across multiple programming languages, including Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust. It helps developers move beyond basic try-catch blocks by introducing advanced concepts like Result and Option types, custom exception hierarchies, and distributed system patterns such as circuit breakers. By utilizing these best practices, teams can significantly improve application reliability, create better debugging experiences for developers, and ensure graceful degradation in production environments when failures inevitably occur.
