Crafting resilient REST API microservices in NestJS
Resilient REST API microservices are essential for creating robust and dependable systems, since they are designed to handle unexpected traffic surges gracefully. They help prevent cascading failures by isolating problems, ensuring that if one service has an issue, it doesn’t bring down the whole application. This isolation also contributes to high availability, as other services can continue operating even when one is down.

How to do it...
In this recipe, we are going to have two NestJS microservices, namely recipes-api and orders-api, communicating with each other synchronously, and will delve deep into resiliency patterns. We are going to explore different techniques for how we can create REST APIs that are robust and reliable.
Step 1 – Establishing communication between services
Once we have both services running...
