What do you like best about Hysterix?

It provides all the basic and advanced features needed for a circuit breaker functionality along with the related relaying, communicating and transport-related functionalities right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hysterix?

There are similar open source libraries available that provides same features like the "fail safe" open source library which provides almost all features the Hysterix does. It would be better to see more advanced features from such a big company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hysterix solving and how is that benefiting you?

It safeguards an application from any failures which are both expected and unexpected similarly. We have used this stack mostly for the circuit breaker functionality and discovery process. Especially in a micro service oriented architecture, it is critical for the services to be able to discover each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hysterix?

It is very easy to integrate Hystrix in a Spring Boot application, just some dependencies, a couple of annotations a you have it running.

Recommendations to others considering Hysterix:

It is an reliable and easy to set up solution. It is in a very stable fase so don't expect big changes in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hysterix solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our application uses many external APIs and we use Hystrix as a safeguard for us and for the APIs.

We have configured timeouts at method level to be sure that the application doesn't keep waiting when the API is not responding.

We have configured the circuit-breakers to protect us when an API is failing, and to protect the API itself by not flooding it with requests that cannot be responde. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hysterix?

Quick adaptation of microservice concepts and a good mechanism to get started. gives us many tools, and gives us starters, which are maven dependencies that bring you a large set of preconfigured classes so that we can use them without strong knowledge of Spring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hysterix?

this microservice links you totally to java and that's why you can't work with any language other than java. does not work autoscale up: If a service is saturated, it does not automatically raise other instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hysterix:

If you have to make some complex microservice, with particular functionalities already programmed opensource you can use it, but if you need to make a simple microservice do not use it mixed with java. gives you a lot of power but has no other elements necessary to work optimally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
