When a backend request fails, agentgateway can be configured to retry Retry A resiliency feature that automatically resends failed requests to backends. Retries can be configured with backoff strategies and specific conditions for when to retry. the request. When a retry is attempted, a different backend will be preferred (if possible).
retry:
# total number of attempts allowed.
# Note: 1 attempt implies no retries; the initial attempt is included in the content.
attempts: 3
# Optional; if set, a delay between each additional attempt
backoff: 500ms
# A list of HTTP response codes to consider retry-able.
# In addition, retries are always permitted if the request to a backend was never started.
codes: [429, 500, 503]When a request has retries enabled and an HTTP body, the request body will be buffered. If the total body size exceeds a threshold size, retries are disabled.
