How should I handle failures in retry logic?

When implementing retry logic, it's important to define clear failure conditions and limits on retries.

What are some common strategies for implementing retry logic?

Common strategies include exponential backoff, circuit breakers, and using a dead-letter queue for failed requests.

How do I decide the maximum number of retries?

The maximum number of retries should be based on the type of operation, the expected failure rate, and the impact of failure.

Can you give an example of exponential backoff?

Sure! In exponential backoff, if a request fails, you might wait 1 second before retrying, then 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, and so on.
