WorkflowForge.Extensions.Resilience.Polly

Advanced resilience extension for WorkflowForge using the battle-tested Polly library. Provides circuit breakers, retry policies, timeout management, and rate limiting.

Installation

dotnet add package WorkflowForge.Extensions.Resilience.Polly

Quick Start

using WorkflowForge.Extensions.Resilience.Polly;

// Create foundry and apply Polly resilience (extension methods are on IWorkflowFoundry)
var config = FoundryConfiguration.ForProduction();
var foundry = WorkflowForge.CreateFoundry("MyWorkflow", config);

// Preset:
foundry.UsePollyProductionResilience();

// Or custom policies:
foundry
    .UsePollyRetry(maxRetryAttempts: 5, baseDelay: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1))
    .UsePollyCircuitBreaker(failureThreshold: 3, durationOfBreak: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1))
    .UsePollyTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));

Key Features

• Circuit Breakers: Prevent cascading failures with configurable thresholds
• Retry Policies: Exponential backoff, jitter, and custom retry strategies
• Timeout Management: Operation-level and workflow-level timeouts
• Rate Limiting: Control execution rates and resource usage
• Battle-Tested: Built on the proven Polly resilience library

Configuration

// Configuration from strongly-typed settings
var settings = PollySettings.ForProduction();
foundry.UsePollyFromSettings(settings);
