## Description

Spring Retry is a Java library that provides exception handling, automated operation reattempts, backoff strategies, and recovery mechanisms for application workflows. It handles transient operation failures through declarative annotations, programmatic templates, stateful context storage, and fallback recovery paths.

The library controls retry behavior by specifying attempt counts, timeouts, and inclusion or exclusion rules for specific exception types. It pauses execution between attempts using fixed, exponential, or randomized backoff intervals, and caches retry state outside the call stack to manage transactional resources and database rollbacks. 

Telemetry integrations capture retry lifecycle events through listeners and expose execution metrics, performance timers, and failure counters. The framework also integrates with Spring Boot applications to configure automated retry logic and recovery handlers.
