Async Retry Processor

Overview​

The AsyncRetry processor automatically retries failed requests based on configurable parameters.

AsyncRetry

Input and Output​

This processor works on the response stream:

  • Input Stream: Response – The processor evaluates response streams to determine if they should be retried.
  • Output Streams: Response – If retry conditions are met, the request is requeued internally for another attempt.

Parameters​

Each parameter is defined as a key-value pair inside the parameters section.

attempts​

Type: number
Required: True
Defines the number of attempts to retry a failed request before giving up.

Example:

- key: attempts
  value: 3

Best Practices​

  • Set attempts to a reasonable number to avoid excessive retries that may overload the system.

AsyncRetry:
  processor: AsyncRetry
  parameters:
    - key: attempts
      value: 3 # Number of retry attempts

Use Case​

You can use the AsyncRetry processor to manage traffic to a backend service that cannot handle large bursts of traffic in real time.
