+# Resilience Patterns
+
+Building robust applications requires handling failures gracefully. RustAPI provides a suite of middleware to help your service survive partial outages, latency spikes, and transient errors.
+
+These patterns are essential for the "Enterprise Platform" learning path and microservices architectures.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Add the resilience features to your `Cargo.toml`. For example:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+rustapi-rs = { version = "0.1.275", features = ["full"] }
+# OR cherry-pick features
+# rustapi-extras = { version = "0.1.275", features = ["circuit-breaker", "retry", "timeout"] }
+```
+
+## Circuit Breaker
+
+The Circuit Breaker pattern prevents your application from repeatedly trying to execute an operation that's likely to fail. It gives the failing service time to recover.
+
+### How it works
+1.  **Closed**: Requests flow normally.
+2.  **Open**: After `failure_threshold` is reached, requests fail immediately with `503 Service Unavailable`.
+3.  **Half-Open**: After `timeout` passes, a limited number of test requests are allowed. If they succeed, the circuit closes.
+
+### Usage
+
+```rust
+use rustapi_rs::prelude::*;
+use rustapi_extras::circuit_breaker::CircuitBreakerLayer;
+use std::time::Duration;
+
+fn main() {
+    let app = RustApi::new()
+        .layer(
+            CircuitBreakerLayer::new()
+                .failure_threshold(5)                // Open after 5 failures
+                .timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))    // Wait 30s before retrying
+                .success_threshold(2)                // Require 2 successes to close
+        )
+        .route("/", get(handler));
+
+    // ... run app
+}
+```
+
+## Retry with Backoff
+
+Transient failures (network blips, temporary timeouts) can often be resolved by simply retrying the request. The `RetryLayer` handles this automatically with configurable backoff strategies.
+
+### Strategies
+-   **Exponential**: `base * 2^attempt` (Recommended for most cases)
+-   **Linear**: `base * attempt`
+-   **Fixed**: Constant delay
+
+### Usage
+
+```rust
+use rustapi_rs::prelude::*;
+use rustapi_extras::retry::{RetryLayer, RetryStrategy};
+use std::time::Duration;
+
+fn main() {
+    let app = RustApi::new()
+        .layer(
+            RetryLayer::new()
+                .max_attempts(3)
+                .initial_backoff(Duration::from_millis(100))
+                .max_backoff(Duration::from_secs(5))
+                .strategy(RetryStrategy::Exponential)
+                .retryable_statuses(vec![500, 502, 503, 504, 429])
+        )
+        .route("/", get(handler));
+
+    // ... run app
+}
+```
+
+> **Warning**: Be careful when combining Retries with non-idempotent operations (like `POST` requests that charge a credit card). The middleware safely handles cloning requests, but your business logic must support it.
+
+## Timeouts
+
+Never let a request hang indefinitely. The `TimeoutLayer` enforces a hard limit on request duration, returning `408 Request Timeout` if exceeded.
+
+### Usage
+
+```rust
+use rustapi_rs::prelude::*;
+use rustapi_extras::timeout::TimeoutLayer;
+use std::time::Duration;
+
+fn main() {
+    let app = RustApi::new()
+        // Fail if handler takes longer than 5 seconds
+        .layer(TimeoutLayer::from_secs(5))
+        .route("/", get(slow_handler));
+
+    // ... run app
+}
+```
+
+## Combining Layers (The Resilience Stack)
+
+Order matters! Timeout should be the "outermost" constraint, followed by Circuit Breaker, then Retry.
+
+In RustAPI (Tower) middleware, layers wrap around each other. The order you call `.layer()` wraps the *previous* service.
+
+**Recommended Order:**
+1.  **Retry** (Inner): Retries specific failures from the handler.
+2.  **Circuit Breaker** (Middle): Stops retrying if the system is overloaded.
+3.  **Timeout** (Outer): Enforces global time limit including all retries.
+
+```rust
+let app = RustApi::new()
+    // 1. Retry (handles transient errors)
+    .layer(RetryLayer::new())
+    // 2. Circuit Breaker (protects upstream)
+    .layer(CircuitBreakerLayer::new())
+    // 3. Timeout (applies to the whole operation)
+    .layer(TimeoutLayer::from_secs(10))
+    .route("/", get(handler));
+```
