Hystrix no longer maintained

[italolelis]

Hello 👋

I have a question regarding the Hystrix implementation.

As most of you probably already know Hystrix is no longer supported by Netflix and they are moving towards a more adaptive concurrency limits. They are only improving in the resilience4j.

I do understand that Hystrix is more a pattern used for resilience than a lib, but if there is no further development in improving it maybe we should rethink if it makes sense to keep using it? Is there any plans for this lib to shift to the same idea?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

@italolelis As of now, there are no plans for moving away from Hystrix. Having said that I am open to proposals on the same.
