These days, it is commonplace to use MyS QL, Redis as a key-value store, MongoDB, Postgress, and InfluxDB — and that is all just for the database — let alone the multiple services that make up other parts of the application.

Responsive image techniques, such as the srcset , sizes , and media HTML attributes, allow different scaled images to be delivered based on the size and resolution of the accessing device. This allows you to further optimize your image delivery to improve the overall performance of your website or application. Instead of taking a single image and only making it responsive with CSS, which is then delivered to all devices, you can deliver completely different images based on the requesting device.

I guess that we more often think about our services in a “ happy path ” term, but we underestimate not so happy paths. What if my API is trying to reach another API/system and it is failing constantly? Can I reach it less often in case of a timeout? I thought about that in case of a Mule 4 application and I came up with Circuit Breaker pattern. In this article, I will briefly introduce the pattern and show you how you use it in your Mule application.
