Implement FireCrawl reliability patterns including circuit breakers, idempotency, and graceful degradation. Use when building fault-tolerant FireCrawl integrations, implementing retry strategies, or adding resilience to production FireCrawl services. Trigger with phrases like "firecrawl reliability", "firecrawl circuit breaker", "firecrawl idempotent", "firecrawl resilience", "firecrawl fallback", "firecrawl bulkhead".

## Overview
Production-grade reliability patterns for FireCrawl integrations.
## Prerequisites
- Understanding of circuit breaker pattern
- opossum or similar library installed
- Queue infrastructure for DLQ
- Caching layer for fallbacks
## Circuit Breaker
```typescript
import CircuitBreaker from 'opossum';
const firecrawlBreaker = new CircuitBreaker(
async (operation: () => Promise<any>) => operation(),
{
timeout: 30000,
errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
resetTimeout: 30000,
volumeThreshold: 10,
}
);
// Events
firecrawlBreaker.on('open', () => {
console.warn('FireCrawl circuit OPEN - requests failing fast');
alertOps('FireCrawl circuit breaker opened');
});
firecrawlBreaker.on('halfOpen', () => {
console.info('FireCrawl circuit HALF-OPEN - testing recovery');
});
firecrawlBreaker.on('close', () => {
console.info('FireCrawl circuit CLOSED - normal operation');
});
// Usage
async function safeFireCrawlCall<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
return firecrawlBreaker.fire(fn);
}
```
## Idempotency Keys
```typescript
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
import crypto from 'crypto';
// Generate deterministic idempotency key from input
function generateIdempotencyKey(
operation: string,
params: Record<string, any>
): string {
const data = JSON.stringify({ operation, params });
return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data).digest('hex');
}
// Or use random key with storage
class IdempotencyManager {
private store: Map<string, { key: string; expiresAt: Date }> = new Map();
getOrCreate(operationId: string): string {
const existing = this.store.get(operationId);
if (existing && existing.expiresAt > new Date()) {
return existing.key;
}
const key = uuidv4();
this.store.set(operationId, {
key,
expiresAt: new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000),
});
return key;
}
}
```
## Bulkhead Pattern
```typescript
import PQueue from 'p-queue';
//
