A Node.js library providing an abstraction for exponential and custom retry strategies for failed operations. It wraps flaky async calls with configurable retry attempts, timeouts, and backoff factors.

Use cases

• retry failed network requests with exponential backoff
• add fault tolerance to flaky dns lookups in node
• configure custom retry timeouts and attempt limits
• retry async operations until they succeed
• implement retry logic for unreliable api calls

When to choose

• you need configurable exponential backoff for failing async operations in Node.js
• you want fine-grained control over retry counts, timeouts, and randomization
• you need retry support for both callback and promise-based code

When to avoid

• you need retry logic outside of Node.js
• you want a batteries-included HTTP client with built-in retries rather than a low-level retry abstraction
• you need circuit-breaker or rate-limiting features alongside retries
