Answer
Use circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, timeouts, and fallbacks.
Combined with autoscaling and load balancing.

Quick Answer
Fault tolerance means the system keeps working even when parts fail. Achieve it with: redundancy (multiple instances), circuit breakers (stop cascading failures), retries with backoff (handle transient errors), timeouts (don't wait forever), graceful degradation (return partial results), bulkheads (isolate failures), and chaos engineering (test failure handling in advance).
