What are the best practices for using the Spring Retry library?

When using the Spring Retry library, it's important to configure your retry policies carefully. You should define the maximum number of attempts and the backoff period between retries.

Can you explain what backoff period means?

The backoff period is the time interval between consecutive retry attempts. It helps to avoid overwhelming the system and allows for recovery.

Are there any specific scenarios where I should avoid using retries?

Yes, avoid using retries for operations that are not idempotent, as repeated attempts may lead to unintended side effects.

What libraries can I use alongside Spring Retry?

You can use Spring Retry with libraries like Spring Cloud, Resilience4j, or even integrate it with your own custom error handling.
