Retry Pattern
In plain terms
Automatically reattempting failed operations.
Going deeper
The retry pattern handles transient failures by retrying operations, often with backoff, improving resilience against temporary glitches. It assumes some failures are momentary.
Under the hood
Needs exponential backoff, jitter, and limits to avoid overwhelming a struggling service; pairs with circuit breakers.
Examples
Transient network errors, API calls, exponential backoff, resilient clients.
Think of it like...
Like redialing a busy phone number a few times, waiting a bit longer between tries.
