Key features that set it apart:

- True async/fiber support (works with Falcon, async gems)

- Built-in fallback mechanism with chaining

- Thread-safe without dangerous Timeout.timeout

- Memory-efficient with WeakRef tracking

- Rich introspection and monitoring hooks

- Clean DSL that works with inheritance

With everyone adding AI/LLM APIs to their apps, circuit breakers are more critical than ever.

These APIs can be slow, flaky, or have outages - without protection, your app goes down with them.

The README shows patterns for graceful degradation when a service is down.

I explicitly avoided shipping Redis/DB adapters to keep it focused, the README shows how to implement your own in ~20 lines.

Would love feedback on the API design and any edge cases I might have missed!

I'm still going to add the parallel feature, i removed it because i need to test it in CI.

I’m not saying your gem is bad. It’s nice to se an attempt at a circuit breaker that is based on the state machines gem, I will certainly look into the actual code if I have a need for it in the future.

Just wanted to give you this bit of feedback about maybe cutting down on length and loosing the ai images in the readme as I think it might be a turnoff for others as well.
