Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Retry Pattern

The video tutorial discusses microservices and the challenges of service communication, particularly when dealing with transient errors. It introduces the Retry Pattern, a design pattern that allows systems to automatically retry failed operations, ensuring service reliability. The tutorial provides a use case involving a shopping cart service and a payment service, illustrating how the Retry Pattern can handle temporary failures. It also explains the role of API Gateway in managing retries and emphasizes the importance of backoff time. The video concludes by highlighting potential drawbacks of the Retry Pattern and suggests additional strategies like circuit breaking.
