Retry Example

This example shows request-level retry using retry.if, optional retry.stopIf, and exponential backoff.

          method: GET
          retry:
            if: ${LastResponse.StatusCode} >= 500
            stopIf: ${LastResponse.StatusCode} = 400

            strategy: Exponential
            maxDelayInMs: 11000

What It Demonstrates

• Conditional retry with retry.if
• Optional early stop with retry.stopIf
• Exponential backoff using delayInMs with optional maxDelayInMs cap
• Response capture for status-code-based retry decisions
