About
Learn how retries are triggered, budgeted, and applied across routes.
A retry is the number of times a request is retried if it fails. This setting can be useful to avoid your apps from failing if they are temporarily unavailable. With retries, calls are retried a certain number of times before they are considered failed. Retries can enhance your app’s availability by making sure that calls don’t fail permanently because of transient problems, such as a temporarily overloaded service or network.
Configuration options
You can configure retries by using a Kubernetes Gateway API-native configuration or a EnterpriseKgatewayTrafficPolicy as shown in the following table
| Type of timeout | Description | Configured via | Attach to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request retries | Specify the number of times and duration for the gateway to try a connection to an unresponsive backend service. |
|
|
| Per-try timeout | Set a shorter timeout for retries than the overall request timeout. |
