What is the Bulkhead architecture pattern?

Bulkhead architecture pattern is a software design pattern that enables applications to operate despite failures in one or more components of the system. It involves dividing the application into separate compartments called "bulkheads" that isolate different components from each other. If one component fails, the other components can still continue to function and the failure does not affect the entire system. This pattern is often used in distributed systems and can improve the overall resilience, availability, and reliability of the application.
