retry
Elixir macros for linear retry, exponential backoff, and wait patterns with composable delay streams.
What is retry?
ElixirRetry is an Elixir library that provides macros for implementing retry and wait logic with configurable backoff strategies. It solves the problem of transient failures in distributed systems by allowing developers to easily add resilient retry patterns to their code, using composable delay streams for linear, exponential, or constant backoff.
Elixir developers building distributed systems, APIs, or services that need to handle intermittent failures gracefully, such as external API calls, database operations, or network requests.
Developers choose ElixirRetry for its simplicity, composability, and seamless integration with Elixir's streaming model, offering a declarative way to add robust retry logic without boilerplate code.
