Retries without chaos
Design retries carefully: respect Retry-After, avoid duplicate submissions, and surface clear progress to admins.
Retries are essential for transient failures, but they must be deliberate to avoid accidental duplicate operations.
Show retry state in the UI so admins don’t click multiple times.
Key points
- Respect Retry-After
- Keep operations idempotent where possible
- Expose retry state to users
