A robust circuit breaker that manages failing external services

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.
