Resilience Engineering in .NET 8: Polly Pipelines in Practice

In distributed systems, API calls fail due to network or transient issues. Instead of writing manual retry logic, .NET 8 introduces Http Resilience built on Polly. This guide compares traditional try/catch retries with modern resilience pipelines using Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience. Learn how to implement exponential backoff, auto-retries, and build fault-tolerant microservices cleanly.
