retry capability

retry adds a retry wrapper to your Go service with exponential backoff and jitter for handling transient failures gracefully.

What You Get

Section titled “What You Get”
  • Retry wrapper with exponential backoff
  • Jitter
  • Max attempts configuration

When to Use

Section titled “When to Use”

Use retry for transient failures from external services — network blips, rate limit responses, temporary unavailability. Always pair with idempotency when retrying operations that mutate state — retrying a non-idempotent payment operation causes duplicate charges.

Add to Your Service

Section titled “Add to Your Service”
Terminal window
verikt new my-service --language go --cap retry
# or add to an existing service:
verikt add retry
Section titled “Related Capabilities”
