Retry logic
Automatic re-execution of a failed automation step after a delay. Best practice is exponential backoff retry after 30s, then 2min, then 10min to avoid hammering an API that's temporarily down. PURIST includes this in every build.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Retry logic is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Architecture category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
