3D Retry & Circuit Breaker Simulator
3D network reliability simulator: watch request packets fly from client to server through a circuit-breaker gate, retrying with exponential backoff and jitter on failure, while the gate itself slams shut after repeated failures and reopens to probe recovery.
This is the spatial companion to the 2D timeline version: instead of reading a scrolling log, you watch individual request packets fly from a client node, through a gate that physically embodies the circuit breaker, to a server node — and back. A shut gate is impossible to misread: packets simply bounce off it the instant the failure streak crosses the trip threshold, and a shrinking cooldown ring shows exactly when the next half-open probe will fly. The same exponential backoff, jitter and closed/open/half-open state machine drive both visualizations; only the presentation differs.
Visualize client-server interactions as a 3D pipeline with a physical gate that closes during circuit breakers, bouncing packets away.
