Retry & Fallback Patterns
Handle transient failures gracefully.
When to Use This Skill
- Network requests that occasionally fail
- External services with temporary outages
- Need graceful degradation when dependencies fail
- Want to avoid cascading failures
Core Concepts
- Exponential backoff - Increasing delays between retries
- Jitter - Random variation prevents thundering herd
- Fallback - Alternative data source when primary fails
- Graceful degradation - Reduced functionality beats total failure
