7.3.6 Retry and Circuit Breaker

Recovering from failure is critical for HTTP clients, and that is where Micronaut’s integrated Retry Advice comes in handy.

You can declare the @Retryable or @CircuitBreaker annotations on any @Client interface and the retry policy will be applied, for example:

Declaring @Retryable

@Client("/pets")
@Retryable
public interface PetClient extends PetOperations {
    @Override
    @SingleResult
    Publisher<Pet> save(String name, int age);
}

Declaring @Retryable

@Client("/pets")
@Retryable
interface PetClient extends PetOperations {
    @Override
    Mono<Pet> save(String name, int age)
}

Declaring @Retryable

@Client("/pets")
@Retryable
interface PetClient : PetOperations {
    override fun save(name: String, age: Int): Mono<Pet>
}
