patterns

DE//AGENT currently lists 3 resources under patterns: 2 references, 1 tutorial. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.

Documented learning objectives across these resources:

• Match each pipeline failure shape to its named pattern and its considerations — via Design resilient pipelines — retry, circuit breaker, bulkhead
• Cap retries with backoff and know when a circuit breaker replaces them — via Design resilient pipelines — retry, circuit breaker, bulkhead
• Use bulkheads and compensating transactions to bound blast radius — via Design resilient pipelines — retry, circuit breaker, bulkhead

These resources map to stage: System Design (3). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.

Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.

How scores are computed: source quality score.

Highest composite score first:

1. Design resilient pipelines — retry, circuit breaker, bulkhead score 34.15 — intermediate
2. AWS Architecture Center score 27.7 — difficulty not documented
3. Azure Cloud Design Patterns score 27.7 — difficulty not documented

Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.
