One component can bring the entire service to a halt.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
One component or dependency can interrupt an entire service when it fails.
The term comes from reliability and fault-tolerance analysis of technical systems. In software architecture it denotes a dependency without sufficient redundancy whose failure can block the service.
View the service as a chain: if one link fails and no effective substitute exists, the service cannot reach users. Redundancy, failover, and regular failure tests show whether the protection actually works.
