How can I effectively handle errors in background tasks?

To handle errors in background tasks, you should implement robust logging, retry mechanisms, and alerting systems.

What are some common error types I should be aware of?

Common error types include network failures, timeouts, and data validation errors. Each requires a different handling strategy.

Can you give me an example of a retry mechanism?

Sure! A simple retry mechanism could involve attempting the task again after a delay, increasing the delay with each failure.

How do I implement logging for these tasks?

You can use logging libraries to capture error messages and stack traces, storing them in a file or a monitoring system.
