A simple Go library providing a retry mechanism for retrying failing operations with configurable attempts, delays, and backoff strategies. It offers a minimal API including reusable retriers and data-returning retry helpers.

Use cases

• retry failed http requests in go
• add exponential backoff to flaky network calls
• retry database or api operations with configurable attempts
• wrap unreliable function calls with automatic retries
• reuse a configured retrier for high-frequency operations

When to choose

• you need a simple, well-adopted retry library for Go
• you want configurable delays, backoff, and attempt limits with a tiny API
• you need a data-returning retry helper or reusable retrier instances

When to avoid

• you need advanced circuit-breaking or bulkhead patterns beyond simple retries
• you prefer a more feature-rich backoff framework like cenkalti/backoff
• you want an actively developed fork with recent correctness improvements
