¿Is there a way to start the Gateway even if one API is down? (Fault tolerance)

[victorbenavente]

I need the gateway to start anyway so an api is down:

sources:
  - name: API-1
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-1.com/graphql
        
  - name: API-2
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-2.com/graphql

  - name: API-3 #this API is down
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-2.com/graphql
        timeout: 5000
        retry: 5
        batch: false
  - name: API-4
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-4.com/graphql
  - name: API-5
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-5.com/graphql
  - name: API-6
    handler:
      graphql:
        endpoint: https://api-6.com/graphql

It crashes:

That's why we have mesh build :) This command saves introspection so mesh start doesn't need them up and running.
