Explore retry strategies and graceful degradation patterns for handling transient failures

90%
Try This:
- Set Primary Service health to 20% and send requests - watch them retry multiple times
- Compare immediate vs exponential backoff retry strategies
- Enable fallback and see requests succeed via the fallback service after primary retries fail
- Set max retries to 1 vs 5 and observe the difference in success rates
Active Requests (0)
No active requests
Recent Completed Requests
No completed requests yet
How it works:
- Immediate Retry: Retry failed requests instantly (can overwhelm failing services)
- Fixed Delay: Wait a constant time between retries
- Exponential Backoff: Increase delay exponentially (1s, 2s, 4s...) - best for transient failures
- Fallback: After exhausting retries, try an alternative service or cached data
