The retry package provides a set of functions for retrying asynchronous functions. It is more feature-rich than is-retry-allowed, offering a flexible approach to control the number of retries, timeouts, and the interval between retries.
Similar to retry, async-retry is a library for retrying a function which returns a Promise. It supports custom retry strategies and has a simple API, but it does not provide a built-in mechanism to determine if an error is retryable.
p-retry is a library for retrying promises with a configurable number of attempts. It is promise-based and allows for custom retry conditions, but unlike is-retry-allowed, it does not come with a predefined list of retryable errors.
