Error Handling Patterns

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for architecting robust applications that maintain stability under pressure. It offers production-grade patterns for handling synchronous and asynchronous failures, ranging from React Error Boundaries for UI resilience to complex backend strategies like exponential backoff and the bulkhead pattern for resource isolation. Whether building distributed microservices or complex client-side applications, this guidance ensures systems fail safely, recover automatically from transient issues, and provide clear diagnostic information for production monitoring and alerting.

Key Features

• Standardized practices for nested try-catch blocks and comprehensive production logging
• Resource isolation strategies using the Bulkhead pattern to prevent cascading failures
• UI resilience techniques using React Error Boundaries and graceful degradation
• 3 GitHub stars
• Implementation patterns for circuit breakers and exponential backoff retry logic
• Advanced asynchronous error handling with result types and parallel promise aggregation

Use Cases

• Developing high-availability microservices that require automatic recovery from transient faults
• Building web applications that consume unreliable third-party services or network-heavy resources
• Designing production APIs that must remain available during external dependency failures
