convention-error-handling

What problem does it solve?

Convention-driven error handling provides a scalable, standardized approach to manage exceptions, retries, and resilience across software systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Formal exception hierarchy with a root ApplicationError and specialized errors (ValidationError, DatabaseError, NetworkError, ConfigurationError, TimeoutError, FatalError)
• Retry strategies with exponential backoff to avoid cascading failures
• Circuit breaker pattern to fail-fast on repeated external service failures
• Structured logging and observability guidelines for traceability
• Guidance for graceful degradation and consistent recovery across APIs, services, and background tasks
• Governance and testing practices to ensure uniform error handling across teams

Quick Start

Integrate the predefined exception hierarchy, retry policies, and circuit-breaker patterns into your codebase to begin applying standardized error handling.
