Advanced tools
The `promise-retry` package provides a way to retry a function that returns a promise until it succeeds or a maximum number of retries is reached. It offers customizable retry strategies and is useful for handling transient errors in asynchronous operations. Compared to @smithy/util-waiter, `promise-retry` focuses more on retrying promises rather than waiting for a resource to reach a specific state.
The `async-retry` package is another utility for retrying asynchronous functions. It supports custom retry strategies and can be used to handle retries for various types of asynchronous operations. While similar to `promise-retry`, `async-retry` provides more flexibility in defining retry behavior. Unlike @smithy/util-waiter, it does not specifically focus on waiting for a resource state change.
