Praetorian is a high-performance C++17/20 framework implementing battle-tested resilience patterns for distributed systems. It’s designed as both a learning playground and a production-grade library, with a built-in load simulator and observability stack.

📜 Overview

This project re-implements foundational reliability mechanisms from scratch in modern C++, with a focus on lock-free concurrency, metrics instrumentation, and chaos testing.

• Planned patterns include:
• Exponential Backoff (with jitter strategies)
• Throttling (concurrency limits)
• Back Pressure (bounded queues + drop policies)
• Rate Limiting (token bucket)
• Circuit Breakers (sliding window, half-open probes)
• Bulkhead Pattern (workload isolation)
• At-Least-Once Delivery (idempotent deduplication)
• Blue-Green Deployments (zero downtime cutover)
• Canary Deployments (weighted rollout + auto rollback)
• SLI/SLO/SLA monitoring
• RED Metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration)
