Hey everyone,
So I’ve been working on a project where I need to handle a ton of HTTP requests, and I keep running into failed requests. It’s super annoying, right? I’ve been looking into Python requests retry strategies to make things more reliable, but I’m not entirely sure what the best practices are.
Like, should I use a library like `requests-retry` or just roll my own retry logic? And how do you guys handle timeouts or rate limits without overloading the server?
Also, what’s the deal with exponential backoff? Is it worth the extra effort, or is a simple fixed delay good enough?
Would love to hear how y’all handle Python requests retry in your projects. Any tips or gotchas to watch out for?
Cheers!
