Why does a Circuit Breaker in microservices matter in this design?

Answer
A Circuit Breaker prevents service calls from being made when a service is unavailable.
Circuit Breakers help manage failures in microservices by stopping requests to a failing service. This avoids wasting resources and helps the system recover faster. For example, in an e-commerce app, if the payment service is down, the Circuit Breaker stops further calls to it, preventing system overload.
