How can I implement a retry pattern in my application?

You can implement a retry pattern by wrapping your code in a loop that attempts the operation multiple times.

What should I do if the operation keeps failing?

You can add exponential backoff to your retry logic, which increases the wait time between retries.

Can you give me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Python:

import time

def retry_operation(max_retries):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            # Your operation here
            break  # Exit loop if successful
        except Exception as e:
            wait_time = 2 ** attempt  # Exponential backoff
            time.sleep(wait_time)
            print(f'Retry {attempt + 1} failed, retrying...')
