A retry is a new attempt to perform an operation after an earlier attempt failed or produced an uncertain result.
Retries can recover from transient faults, but every retry adds load and latency. Safe policies bound the attempt count, total time, and retryable failure classes.
Repeated side effects require idempotency or another duplicate-control mechanism.
Used in DKKB
Retries and exponential backoffRetry selected transient failures with bounded attempts, increasing delays, and jitter so recovery attempts do not become new load spikes.
