Isabelle & Sanjiva,
http://www.javaworld.com/article/2824163/application-performance/stability-patterns-applied-in-a-restful-architecture.html?page=2
which Aruna had given as a reference explains circuit breaker on the server
side. IMO, circuit breaker on both client side & server side are useful
features in a microservices framework. In fact these are features people
look for when evaluating microservices frameworks.

Thanks
Azeez
