Sentinel: 高可用流控防护组件 (Microservice Flow Control and Resilience)
Sentinel is a powerful flow control component designed for microservices, enhancing reliability, resilience, and real-time monitoring in cloud-native environments.
Project Introduction
Summary
Sentinel is an open-source, lightweight, and high-performance flow control component developed by Alibaba. It enables developers and SREs to ensure the reliability and resilience of their microservice applications.
Problem Solved
Microservices are prone to cascading failures under high traffic or dependency issues. Sentinel provides robust protection mechanisms to maintain stability and availability in distributed systems.
Core Features
Comprehensive Flow Control
Implements various flow control strategies like throttling, concurrency control, and adaptive flow limiting to protect resources from overload.
Circuit Breaking and System Protection
Offers circuit breaking and system load protection to prevent cascading failures and ensure system stability under high pressure.
Tech Stack
使用场景
Sentinel's capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of scenarios in microservice architectures, ensuring stability and reliability.
场景一：防止服务过载 (Preventing Service Overload)
Details
Configure flow control rules to limit the rate of requests to a service endpoint, preventing it from being overwhelmed during traffic spikes.
User Value
Ensures critical services remain responsive and available even under unexpected high load, improving system stability.
场景二：依赖服务保护 (Dependency Protection)
Details
Automatically trip a circuit breaker when a downstream dependency is slow or failing, redirecting requests to a fallback or returning an error immediately.
User Value
Prevents cascading failures that can occur when one failing service brings down others, isolating issues and maintaining overall system health.
