### 2. Run the Project
Start the project locally with the following command:

```
./scripts/local_server.sh
```
This script upgrades the database migrations using Alembic and starts the FastAPI server using Uvicorn. The server is hosted on 0.0.0.0 and port 8000, making it accessible locally.

## Using the Circuit Breaker for External API Calls
Using the Circuit Breaker for External API Calls

Our application uses a circuit breaker pattern to enhance its resilience against failures in external services. The circuit breaker prevents the application from performing operations that are likely to fail, allowing it to continue operating with degraded functionality instead of complete failure.

## How to Use
How to Use?
- For any external service call, wrap the call with the circuit breaker.
- The circuit breaker is configured to trip after a certain number of consecutive failures. Once tripped, it will prevent further calls to the external service for a defined period.

## Example
Example

Here's an example of using the circuit breaker in an API route:
