About
SmartRetry
SmartRetry is a production-grade retry utility for TypeScript applications, designed to provide predictable, safe, and well-tested retry behavior for asynchronous operations.
The project focuses on:
- Correct retry semantics
- Exponential backoff with full jitter
- Global timeout enforcement across attempts
- Proper cancellation via AbortSignal
- Deterministic behavior backed by automated tests
- Zero runtime dependencies
- ESM and CJS compatibility
SmartRetry is built as infrastructure — small, focused, and reliable. The goal is long-term stability, careful versioning (SemVer), and disciplined maintenance.
Why Support This Project?
Open-source infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance even when the codebase is small. Contributions help support:
- Ongoing maintenance and bug fixes
- Performance benchmarking and validation
- Expanded test coverage
- Documentation improvements
- Security review and hardening
- Long-term sustainability
All development happens publicly on GitHub. Releases are tagged and CI-validated.
