How do microservices achieve high availability?

Entry Microservices
Quick Answer High availability in microservices: run multiple instances of each service so one failing doesn't cause downtime. Use health checks so orchestrators replace unhealthy instances. Deploy across availability zones. Use circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures. Implement retries with backoff. Design for graceful degradation when a non-critical service is down.

Answer

By deploying multiple instances, using load balancing, automatic failover, and stateless services with resilient storage. Ensures minimal downtime.
