ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During load testing, developers observe that a new inventory microservice hangs whenever its upstream pricing API fails to respond in time. To guarantee the microservice stays available and recovers automatically in production, which runtime control should you deploy?

  • Apply optimistic locking to database transactions to avoid deadlocks.

  • Deploy an external watchdog to restart the microservice if a heartbeat is missed.

  • Enable detailed debug logging to capture stack traces during outages.

  • Integrate a circuit-breaker that times out stalled API calls, retries, and falls back until the dependency recovers.
