How can you combine retry logic with circuit breaker pattern to improve REST API failure handling?

ARetry failed calls a few times, then open circuit to stop calls temporarily on repeated failures

BRetry indefinitely without limits to ensure success

CUse circuit breaker only without retries to reduce complexity

DIgnore failures and always return cached data

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand retry and circuit breaker roles
Retry tries again on failure; circuit breaker stops calls after repeated failures to prevent overload.
Step 2: Combine them effectively
Retry a few times, if still failing, open circuit breaker to pause calls temporarily.
Final Answer:
Retry failed calls a few times, then open circuit to stop calls temporarily on repeated failures -> Option A
Quick Check:
Retry + circuit breaker = retry then pause [OK]

Quick Trick: Retry first, then open circuit breaker on repeated failures [OK]
