ops-resilience

What problem does it solve?

Handling AWS control plane failures with time-limited retries and fallback approaches. Use when API calls fail, time out, or return 5xx errors. It covers retry strategies, control plane vs data plane distinction, and alternative approaches when the control plane is unresponsive.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard retry patterns with exponential backoff and a hard deadline to avoid infinite loops.
• Time-limited retry logic and environment-based configuration for adaptive retries.
• Guidance on choosing control plane vs data plane fallbacks across services (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS/EKS, Lambda, etc.)
• Real-world use cases: implementing resilience in automated AWS workflows, incident recovery, and cross-region failover strategies.

Quick Start

Configure your tooling to detect control plane failures and apply a timeout-bound retry loop, then switch to data-plane fallbacks when the control plane is impaired.
