When dealing with failures in a microservice system, localized mitigation mechanisms like load shedding and circuit breakers have always been used, but they may not be as effective as a more globalized approach. These localized mechanisms ( as demonstrated in a systematic study on the subject published at SoCC 2022 ) are useful in preventing individual services from being overloaded, but they are not very effective in dealing with complex failures that involve interactions between services, whic
