What are some effective retry strategies for handling errors in AWS Lambda?

There are several strategies you can use, such as exponential backoff, linear retry, and circuit breaker patterns.

Can you explain exponential backoff in more detail?

Exponential backoff is a strategy where the wait time between retries increases exponentially, helping to reduce load.

What about the circuit breaker pattern? How does it work?

The circuit breaker pattern prevents a system from repeatedly trying to execute an operation that's likely to fail, allowing it to recover.

Are there any best practices for implementing these strategies?

Yes, it's important to set limits on retries, monitor performance, and adjust your strategy based on the specific use case.
