How I built a Pit Wall with AWS IoT Core (and why this pattern works for any industry)

Hola a todos! Hace unos meses me surgio la idea de empezar a correr en simrace nuevamente, en pandemia me compré el volante y lo usé un rato pero perdi la motivación cuando me di cuenta de lo dificil…

  • Author built a Pit Wall using AWS IoT Core for racing simulation.
  • Captured data from Assetto Corsa simulator and sent to AWS IoT Core.
  • Pattern applies to any device generating data outside infrastructure.

Circuit Breaker Pattern

One-liner: A circuit breaker stops calling a failing service to give it time to recover — instead of hammering it with requests that are guaranteed to fail.

  • Circuit breaker pattern prevents repeated calls to failing services, allowing recovery time.
  • Three states: CLOSED, OPEN, HALF-OPEN; circuit trips to OPEN on failure threshold exceedance.
  • Implemented in Java, Node.js, Go, Python, .NET; integrated into service meshes like Istio.
