Activejob Retry

Overview

ActiveJob::Retry is an innovative solution designed for Ruby's ActiveJob framework, providing seamless automatic retry functionality for job processing. As an alpha library currently in active development, it offers a robust approach for managing job retries while allowing developers to customize behavior through various options. Whether you're dealing with temporary errors or want to ensure tasks are completed successfully, this library can enhance job resilience in your application.

With ActiveJob::Retry, you can easily define your job retry strategies and customize them based on specific needs. This makes it a powerful addition for developers looking to streamline error handling and improve reliability in their job processing workflows.

Features

• Automatic Retry: Retry jobs automatically before reaching rescue blocks, ensuring efficient error handling.

• Configurable Retry Limit: Set the maximum number of job attempts via the limit option, defaulting to 1 but adjustable as needed.

• Infinite Retrying: With unlimited_retries set to true, jobs can be retried indefinitely—use with care.

• Exception Management: Utilize retryable_exceptions to define which exceptions should trigger a retry, while fatal_exceptions can blacklist those that shouldn't be retried.

• Custom Delay Options: Configure delays between retries through the delay, delays, and multiplier settings, allowing for flexible retry timing strategies.

• Callback Support: Implement callbacks that run before each retry attempt, providing instance-level access to job variables for tailored handling of retries.

• Compatibility with Backends: Works with any queue adapter supporting delayed enqueuing, enabling easy integration into existing job processing systems.
