A .NET workflows library (by elsa-workflows)
Polly
Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner. From version 6.0.1, Polly targets .NET Standard 1.1 and 2.0+. (by App-vNext)

Really struggling to find supporting tools
That's the Elsa Workflows library.
-
My company creates different .NET apps for each different client
Look into Elsa. It allows you to have a dynamic workflow builder that can be used to create dyabmic logic configurations per customer defined as JSON so you just maintain one code base. It has a very modular and extensible architecture allowing you to hook back into your code at points which make sense.

The Retry Pattern and Retry Storm Anti-pattern
In our applications, we should wrap all requests to remote services in code that implements a retry policy that follows one of the strategies I listed earlier. If you are a .NET developer like myself, you may be familiar with the Polly library. Golang has a library called Retry, and there are numerous third-party libraries for Python and Java.

Http calls on mobile, what is the preferred way / best practice
Another question that rises is, would it be better to use some HttpClient package to handle the requests, like Refit in combination with Polly. But then again, it seems Refit also uses the HttpClient factory, which was a bad thing according to the previous?

[Question] HttpClient does not recover from error
D'Oh! Sorry, not PolySharp. I meant Polly. Too many similarly-named libraries!

I thought "Availability Groups" would be 100% "seamless"
Everywhere I've worked with AGs, we've worked with the application team to add retry logic to help make things a bit more seamless to end users. There are libraries out there that can make this pretty easy - Polly is one that I've used a few times, but there are others.

Do you really need "microservices"?
Fallacy 1: The network is reliable. If system 2 works perfectly well, but is not accessible for service 1 due to network issues, service 2 is still unavailable. This is why timeouts, service breakers and retry policies exist. A great tool for .NET to handle common network issues is Polly, but even when using a tool like this, the network is still not completely reliable.
-
Only "exit 1" if VISIBLE errors are thrown during script invocation, ignoring try/catch blocks
I see. Then I don't have any better idea right now, but I do want to suggest that if your script is mostly API calls and you want to be able to deal with failures then take a look at the polly library: https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly

Getting back into C# after a hiatus, any good reading material recommendations to get back up to speed? Been using Kotlin recently, and got quite a lot of experience in engineering.
Runs in containers nicely, has good integration with Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC, etc. for Microservices communication. Implements resiliency patterns you'd want in Microservices via Polly. Has a decent Dependency Injection framework built in by default.

What your hidden nuget gems ?
It's in no way hidden. But I use Polly all the time.
