This module provides robust functionality for retrying failed API requests with
configurable strategies to improve application reliability in unreliable network
conditions or when dealing with service instabilities.
Features:
Configurable maximum retry attempts with sensible defaults
Exponential backoff algorithm for progressively increasing wait time
Random jitter to prevent thundering herd problems during service recovery
Comprehensive error logging with attempt tracking and history
Configurable initial delay to customize retry timing
Automatic failure propagation after maximum attempts
Intelligent delay capping to prevent excessive waits
The retry system is particularly valuable for Spotify API interactions where
temporary rate limiting, network instabilities, or service hiccups can occur.
The exponential backoff approach ensures the application doesn't flood the API
with retry attempts during outages while still providing resilience.
