Description

The Timeout pattern limits the amount of time an application waits for a response from a service. If the response is not received within the time limit, the operation is aborted.

Where to use

• Latency management.
\n
• Preventing resource exhaustion.

Real World Example

An HTTP client is configured with a 2-second timeout. If the server doesn't respond in 2 seconds, the client throws an error and frees up the connection.

Code Example
