What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A tiny Node.js library that wraps async operations with automatic retry logic, including exponential backoff and a bail mechanism to abort retries on non-retryable errors. It delegates timeout/retry options to node-retry and returns a Promise.

Use cases

  • retry failed http requests with exponential backoff
  • retry async operations in nodejs
  • stop retrying on specific errors like 403
  • add retry logic to fetch calls
  • configure retry timeouts and attempt limits

When to choose

  • you need simple promise-based retries for async code in Node.js
  • you want exponential backoff with configurable timeouts
  • you need to bail out of retries for non-retryable errors

When to avoid

  • you need retries in the browser without a Node environment
  • you need circuit breakers, rate limiting, or full resilience patterns beyond retrying
  • your project is not JavaScript/Node.js
