Can this skill help with microservices reliability?

Yes, it includes advanced patterns like the Circuit Breaker, which prevents a single failing service from causing cascading failures across an entire distributed system.

When should I use the retry pattern with exponential backoff?

Retries are ideal for transient, recoverable errors such as network timeouts or temporary API rate limits, allowing the system to recover without user intervention.

How do Result types differ from traditional Exceptions?

Result types treat errors as data that must be explicitly handled, which is often preferred for expected failures like validation, while Exceptions are typically used for truly exceptional, unexpected conditions.

What programming languages are covered by these patterns?

The skill provides specific implementation patterns for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, and Go, as well as universal architectural patterns.

API 개발

Implements robust error handling strategies across multiple programming languages to build resilient, fault-tolerant applications.

소개

This skill equips Claude with specialized patterns for managing application failures using modern paradigms like Result types, custom exception hierarchies, and circuit breakers. It provides comprehensive guidance on language-specific best practices for Python, TypeScript, Rust, and Go, ensuring your code handles errors gracefully rather than crashing. Whether you are designing error-resilient APIs, debugging production issues, or implementing exponential backoff retries, this skill provides the implementation patterns needed to improve application reliability and developer experience.
