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)

    This is probably one of the most useful "cloud" patterns out there and it is fairly easy to implement. There are great articles and implementations, like Polly, already on the internet about this pattern so why another one?

  • Designing HTTP API clients in .NET
    7 projects | dev.to | 21 Aug 2024
    Custom HTTP handlers are well known as a mechanism to manage cross-cutting concerns around HTTP requests. The calling application has control over the HTTP handler pipeline, so it can be reconfigured, reordered, or even rebuilt from scratch. Decorating a client with a Token Management Handler or a custom Polly policy is easy... assuming the client accepts an HttpClient parameter in its constructor, and you haven't messed with the natural order of things by obstructing the client customization in some way (I really don't want to show how).
  • The Retry Pattern and Retry Storm Anti-pattern
    1 project | dev.to | 15 Jan 2024
    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
    2 projects | /r/dotnetMAUI | 11 Jul 2023
    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?

    D'Oh! Sorry, not PolySharp. I meant Polly. Too many similarly-named libraries!
  • I thought "Availability Groups" would be 100% "seamless"
    1 project | /r/SQLServer | 16 May 2023
    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"?
    1 project | dev.to | 14 May 2023
    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
    1 project | /r/PowerShell | 23 Apr 2023
    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
