Circuitbox is a Ruby circuit breaker gem. It protects your application from
failures of its service dependencies. It wraps calls to external services and
monitors for failures in one minute intervals. Using a circuit's defaults once
more than 5 requests have been made with a 50% failure rate, Circuitbox stops
sending requests to that failing service for 90 seconds. This helps your
application gracefully degrade.
