Downstream services become unavailable. Networks time out. Databases become overloaded. These are not exceptional events — they&rsquo;re normal operating conditions that a production service must handle correctly.</p> <p>The mistake is adding resilience patterns everywhere as a precaution. A circuit breaker on a service that never fails adds overhead without value. A retry on a non-idempotent operation can cause duplicate side effects. Resilience patterns should be applied deliberately, to specific failure modes that matter for your system.</p>
