What it does

Integration points are the number-one killer — every socket, HTTP call, or queue is a risk
Slow responses are worse than no response: they tie up threads, exhaust pools, and propagate delay up the call chain
Unbounded result sets turn a harmless query into an out-of-memory crash once data outgrows test assumptions
Users generate load no test predicts — bots, retry storms, flash crowds; self-denial attacks happen when your own marketing overwhelms your infrastructure
Blocked threads are the silent killer — deadlocks and contention show no errors until everything stops
Circuit Breaker: three states (closed, open, half-open) — trips after threshold failures, periodically tests recovery
Timeouts: every outbound call needs connect AND read timeouts, propagated up the call chain

Requirements & configuration

Timeouts: every outbound call needs connect AND read timeouts, propagated up the call chain
Define steady state first — you need a measurable baseline to detect deviation
Minimize blast radius: canary populations, feature flags, emergency stop; production experiments require explicit authorization and instant rollback

Configuration: LIMIT

release-it FAQ

What does the release-it skill do?

Build production-ready systems with stability patterns: circuit breakers, bulkheads, timeouts, and retry logic. Use when the user mentions "production outage", "circuit breaker", "deployment pipeline", "chaos engineering", "retry storm", "health checks", "my service keeps crashing", "prevent cascading failures", or "make it resilient". Also trigger when designing resilient microservices, planning zero-downtime deployments, or capacity-planning for peak load. Covers stability patterns, capacity planning, deploy/release decoupling, and observability. For data systems, see ddia-systems. For system architecture, see system-design.
