 **Provide fallbacks**. In this approach, the client process performs fallback logic when a request fails, such as returning cached data or a default value. This is an approach suitable for queries, and is more complex for updates or commands.
 
-**Limit the number of queued requests**. Clients should also impose an upper bound on the number of outstanding requests that a client microservice can send to a particular service. If the limit has been reached, it's probably pointless to make additional requests, and those attempts should fail immediately. In terms of implementation, the Polly [Bulkhead Isolation](https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly/wiki/Bulkhead) policy can be used to fulfill this requirement. This approach is essentially a parallelization throttle with <xref:System.Threading.SemaphoreSlim> as the implementation. It also permits a "queue" outside the bulkhead. You can proactively shed excess load even before execution (for example, because capacity is deemed full). This makes its response to certain failure scenarios faster than a circuit breaker would be, since the circuit breaker waits for the failures. The BulkheadPolicy object in [Polly](https://thepollyproject.azurewebsites.net/) exposes how full the bulkhead and queue are, and offers events on overflow so can also be used to drive automated horizontal scaling.
