What is the role of retries in architecturally resilient systems?

Retries are an important component in architecturally resilient systems as they provide a mechanism for recovering from failures and ensuring that the system can continue to operate in the event of a failure. Retries involve automatically re-executing failed operations, often with slight variations or delays, in order to improve the chances of success. By using retries, systems can reduce the impact of individual failure events and improve the overall reliability and availability of the system. In addition, retries can help to optimize the use of system resources and reduce the need for human intervention to resolve failures. Overall, retries are an important tool for ensuring that architecturally resilient systems remain stable, reliable, and operational in the face of failure events.
