Answer
Use retries, fallback logic, circuit breakers, timeouts, and structured error responses to maintain uptime during failures.
Quick Answer
Graceful error recovery: expect failures and handle them at every boundary. Use try/catch in async functions, domain-specific error classes for different failure types, circuit breakers for external service calls, retry with backoff for transient errors, and a global uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handler as a last resort (log, alert, restart cleanly).
