backoff-tower

A tower layer to apply a backoff strategy to retried requests

Overview

tower has a builtin RetryLayer which retries requests immediately. BackoffLayer is a wrapper around a RetryLayer which applies a BackoffStrategy to requests so that there is a delay before they are retried. Both tokio and async-std are supported, with tokio being selected via default features

```rust

[derive(Clone)]

struct MyPolicy { attempts_left: usize, }

impl Policy for MyPolicy { type Future = Ready;

fn retry(&self, _req: &usize, result: Result<&usize, &&'static str>) -> Option<Self::Future> {
    if self.attempts_left == 0 {
        return None;
    }

    match result {
        Ok(_) => None,
        Err(_) => Some(ready(MyPolicy { attempts_left: self.attempts_left - 1 }))
    }
}

fn clone_request(&self, req: &usize) -> Option<usize> {
    Some(req + 1)
}

}

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { let mut service = ServiceBuilder::new() .layer(BackoffLayer::new(MyPolicy { attemptsleft: 8 }, ExponentialBackoffStrategy)) .servicefn(|x: usize| async move { if x % 10 == 0 { Ok(x / 10) } else { Err("bad input") } });

assert_eq!(Ok(6), service.call(55).await, "should be the next multiple of 10 divided by 10");
assert_eq!(Err("bad input"), service.call(51).await, "retry limit should have been hit");

}
