bulkhead pattern vs circuit breaker

Comment

circuit breaker is implemented on the caller side. 
So, if you are sending request to another service, you should wrap those requests into a circuit breaker specific to that service.
Keep in mind that every other third party system or service should have it's own circuit breaker.
Otherwise, the unavailability of one system will impact the requests that you are sending to the other by opening the circuit breaker.

in the case of bulkheading, this is a pattern which is implemented in the service that is called.
So, if you are reacting to external requests by spanning other multiple requests or worloads, you should avoid doing all those worloads into a single unit (thread). 
Instead, separate the worloads into pieces (thread pools) for each request that you have spanned.
