Timeout

The timeout pattern prevents remote procedure calls from waiting indefinitely for a response. A timeout specifies how long the RPC has to return. If there is no response by the timeout, the RPC invokes a fallback mechanism, whether it’s retrying the request, throwing an exception, or something else. This pattern is perhaps the most basic, fundamental resilience pattern used in RPCs.
