The same concept applies to the client side as well. We could modify this sample to show interaction between two microservices, where one service calls the other, and if that call keeps failing, the circuit would trip, which would be a sample for client side circuit breaker.
In the real world, DB calls could fail for sometime (too many calls to the DB at a given time), and there the circuit would trip and fallback to serving from a cache, which is what this simplified example demonstrates.
