Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate applications from cascading failures. It's designed to stop failures from rippling through a system and aims to improve overall system resilience. It achieves this through techniques such as circuit breakers, fallback mechanisms, and resource isolation via thread pools or semaphores. While initially developed by Netflix, Hystrix is now considered to be in maintenance mode and no longer actively developed. Alternatives like Resilience4j are often recommended for new projects.
