-## 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.
