summary
Benchmarks run on Istio with the Online Boutique app show how retries and circuit breakers interact: a complete user request triggers six internal calls and 1.2× overload produces ~200 successful RPS at the edge but cascades downstream. Sensitive circuit breakers yield fast failures and protect latency at the cost of availability; a queue size of 20 is the best tradeoff here. Retries raise throughput but increase tail latency and short retry intervals cause retry storms.
