How Should Developers Design Retry and Failure Handling for Azure-Based Applications?

Reliable Azure applications need more than basic exception handling—they need a well-designed strategy for transient failures, retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation. This discussion explores how developers can design resilient applications using Azure services and .NET patterns while avoiding retry storms and duplicate operations. It is especially valuable for developers preparing for real-world cloud projects and architecture discussions. A strong understanding of reliability patterns can significantly strengthen both development skills and technical interview readiness.
