How to use Java to develop a service fault tolerance and degradation application based on Spring Cloud Alibaba

In distributed system development, service fault tolerance and degradation are very important technical means . Spring Cloud Alibaba is a full-service bucket solution dedicated to providing developers with microservice development, including service fault tolerance and degradation functions.

This article will introduce you to how to use Java to develop a service fault tolerance and degradation application based on Spring Cloud Alibaba, and provide corresponding code examples.

1. Introducing dependencies

First, we need to introduce the corresponding dependencies in the project's pom.xml file. Taking the service fault tolerance and degradation functions as an example, the dependencies that need to be introduced are as follows:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.alibaba.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-alibaba-sentinel</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-ribbon</artifactId>
</dependency>

2. Configuring Sentinel

When the application starts, we need to configure Sentinel. Add the @EnableCircuitBreaker and @EnableSentinel annotations to the main class of Spring Boot, as shown below:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableCircuitBreaker
@EnableSentinel
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

At the same time, we need to configure Sentinel related information in the application.yml (or application.properties) file, for example ：

spring:
  cloud:
    sentinel:
      transport:
        dashboard: localhost:8080

3. Use the @SentinelResource annotation

We can use the @SentinelResource annotation to annotate methods that require service fault tolerance and downgrade. For example:

@RestController
public class UserController {
    @Autowired
    private UserService userService;
    
    @GetMapping("/user/{id}")
    @SentinelResource(value = "getUserById", fallback = "fallbackMethod")
    public User getUserById(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return userService.getUserById(id);
    }

    public User fallbackMethod(Long id) {
        return new User(id, "fallback", "fallback");
    }
}

In the above example, we annotate the getUserById method through the @SentinelResource annotation and specify the fallback attribute as fallbackMethod, which means that when an exception occurs in the getUserById method, the fallbackMethod method will be called for fault tolerance processing .

4. Use Sentinel Dashboard for monitoring

Enter http://localhost:8080 in the browser to access Sentinel Dashboard, which can monitor the status of the service in real time, including requests success, failure and other information. Some rule parameters can also be dynamically adjusted through the Dashboard, such as flow control, degradation, etc.

5. Exception handling and downgrade strategy

When an exception occurs in our service or reaches a threshold, we can configure Sentinel rules to implement exception handling and downgrade strategies. Configurable rules include flow control rules, degradation rules, system protection rules, etc.

For example, we can configure a flow control rule in Sentinel Dashboard to limit the flow when the QPS (requests per second) of the API exceeds a certain threshold.

Through the above steps, we have completed how to use Java to develop a service fault tolerance and degradation application based on Spring Cloud Alibaba. By using Spring Cloud Alibaba's Sentinel component, we are able to better protect and manage our microservices and provide elegant response strategies when failures occur.
