As these systems get bigger and more complex, the chances of something going wrong naturally go up. That's where the resiliency policies come in, for example, they come in handy when you're using the servicing vocation building block, and one of the target services is down. With a resiliency policy, it can wait for a specified amount of time and automatically retry the communication. In Docker, there are a few types of policies that you can set up: timeouts, so you can wait a certain amount of time or just stop long running operations beforehand. Retries to try sending a request again, once the issue's fixed and circuit breakers to cut off traffic to a failing service and reduce its load while it's down.
