global:
  retry:
    count: 3
    delay: 1000
    backoff: exponential
    backoffMultiplier: 2

requests:
  - name: Flaky API
    url: https://api.example.com/data
    retry:
      count: 5
      delay: 2000
      on: [500, 502, 503]

Key Benefits

Why use Retry Mechanism?

Exponential Backoff

Intelligent retry strategy with exponential backoff prevents overwhelming servers during failures.

Configurable Policies

Fine-tune retry count, delay, and backoff multiplier per request or globally.

Selective Retry

Choose which HTTP status codes or error types should trigger retries.

Use Cases

Perfect for these scenarios

Handling intermittent network failures

Working with flaky or unreliable APIs

Rate limit recovery

Production API monitoring
