Starter#Promises#Async
Fetch And Retry
Implement a retry function that handles transient failures by retrying async operations with optional delays.
By modernDev2025-12-21Medium
Retry logic is essential for building resilient applications. Network requests, database connections, and API calls can fail temporarily due to server overload, rate limiting, or network issues.
In this challenge, you'll implement a retry function that automatically retries a failing async operation a specified number of times. Design and implement a function that fetches data from an API and retries the request when it fails.
Key concepts you'll practice:
- Promise chaining and error handling
- Async/await patterns
- Closures for state management
- Recursive vs iterative implementations
Goal: Implement a retry function that handles transient failures. Bonus: Add exponential backoff with jitter.
