What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prevent cascading failures and improve the reliability of outbound HTTP dependencies by adding standardized resiliency patterns (retry, timeouts, circuit breakers, and rate limiting) to your .NET HttpClient and Refit clients.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard Resilience Pipeline: Applies an ordered set of strategies—rate limiting, total request timeout, retry, circuit breaker, and attempt timeout—using Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience.
• Granular Handling for Transient Failures: Enables selective retries based on specific conditions such as HTTP 503 or 429 responses to avoid unnecessary retries.
• Custom Pipelines When Needed: Supports replacing the standard pipeline with a named custom resilience handler for scenarios where default retry/circuit behavior isn’t appropriate.

Quick Start

Add Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience and configure your HttpClient or Refit client with AddStandardResilienceHandler so retry, circuit breaking, and rate limiting protect your upstream calls from transient faults and overload.
