Polly retries making outages worse: stop retry storms with backoff and jitter
When retries amplify failures instead of fixing them: how retry storms happen in .NET, how to prove it, and the four components that stop cascading failures.

Use this when you need retries that reduce outages instead of multiplying them.

What you get (4 files)

  • ResilientHttpClient.cs: a copy-paste ready wrapper that implements backoff + jitter + caps + stop rules and centralizes policy defaults
  • retry-policy-checklist.md: a decision checklist for what to retry, what to stop, and where to fail fast
  • retry-event-logging-schema.json: a structured event shape for retry attempts so you can query retry rate and detect retry storms
  • README.md: integration notes (timeouts first, policy wiring, and operational boundaries)
