GenRetry

GenRetry provides utilities for retrying Elixir functions, with configurable delay and backoff characteristics.

Examples

my_background_function = fn ->
  :ok = try_to_send_tps_reports()
end
GenRetry.retry(my_background_function, retries: 10, delay: 10_000)

my_future_function = fn ->
  {:ok, val} = get_val_from_flaky_network_service()
  val
end
t = GenRetry.Task.async(my_future_function, retries: 3)
my_val = Task.await(t)  # may raise exception
