asab-iris implements specific error handling strategies for the Kafka and Web handlers to ensure robustness and reliability.
- Fallback Mechanism: In case of errors during message processing, a fallback mechanism is triggered. This ensures that the system can still operate or recover gracefully when encountering issues.
- General Error Logging: Any errors during message dispatching are logged as exceptions.
- Error Responses: Internal error codes are mapped to HTTP status codes, providing meaningful responses to clients.
- Exception Handling: General exceptions are logged, and standardized error responses are sent to clients.
- Inbound: HTTP REST API
- Inbound: Apache Kafka
- Jinja2 for template specifications
- Markdown for templates
- HTML for templates and the output
- PDF for the output
- Output: Email SMTP
- Output: Slack
- Output: Microsoft Teams
