Michael #4: Stamina

  • via Matthias Bach, by Hynek

  • General additions on top of Tenacity
    • Retry only on certain exceptions.
    • Exponential backoff with jitter between retries.
    • Limit the number of retries and total time.
    • Automatic async support.
    • Preserve type hints of the decorated callable.
    • Count (Prometheus) and log (structlog) retries with basic metadata, if they’re installed.
    • Easy global deactivation for testing.
