Hi, in this video I’ll talk about Bulkhead Pattern. It is a design pattern that is commonly used in distributed systems to improve their resilience and prevent cascading failures. In this video, we'll explore what the Bulkhead pattern is, how it works, and when you should use it.

The Bulkhead pattern is named after the watertight compartments on ships that prevent them from sinking if one part of the hull is breached. Similarly, in software systems, the Bulkhead pattern involves dividing your system into isolated compartments, or 'bulkheads,' to limit the impact of failures and ensure that one part of the system doesn't bring down the whole system.
