Why this instead of https://github.com/avast/retry-go or https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff ?

Libraries you use most of your projects?
In addition to the ones you mentioned, I also always use: + sqlc - Compile SQL to type-safe code + gqlgen - generate GraphQL server from schema + oapi-codegen - Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications + pester - Go http calls with retries and backoff + backoff - exponential backoff algorithm in Go

retry package for golang
May I suggest directions to improve? - add option for exponential or linear backoff - stop early on non-retriable errors Example: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v4 (do not know about its author, just a package I've been using).
- How to implement a retry mechanism for goroutines?
-
Queuing up API requests with waitgroups?
I have used https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff a few years ago and I don't know if it's the best candidate at this point but it's worth to consider in combination with or as an alternative to x/time/rate if you are going that route.

retry package for golang
What is that advantage of your package compared to other ones like https://github.com/avast/retry-go?

Go, NATS, gRPC and PostgreSQL clean architecture microservice with monitoring and tracing 👋
processCreateEmail handling create email events, it's start tracing span, increase metrics counters, then unmarshal message data, and call usecase create method, if it fails, we retry for 3 times using retry-go, if it still fails, we check is the current message redelivered and if redelivery count > maxRedeliveryCount(it's up to your business logic, here is 3 times limit), handling error cases can be very different and depends on your service business logic, in this example used Dead Letter Queue approach.

Go, Kafka, gRPC and MongoDB microservice with metrics and tracing 👋
Workers validate message body then call usecase, if it's returns error, try for retry, good library for retry is retry-go, if again fails, publish error message to very simple Dead Letter Queue as i said, didn't implement here any interesting business logic, so in real production we have to handle error cases in the better way. And after message success processed commit it.
