I did some more research, a fallback is an alternate path for the same RPC service to be used by the client in case of a failure. It is a form of redundancy, and the fallback location can (and should) be a load balanced proxy to ensure the highest availability of the service. Here is a nice article that Doordash published: https://doordash.engineering/2022/06/07/improving-fault-tolerance-with-rpc-fallbacks-in-doordashs-microservices/ This answers it for me, if you would like a documentation PR based on this response I can try and do that. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
