API ReferenceRetries and Dead Letters
Retries and Dead Letters
Configure retry policies, inspect retry jobs, and recover exhausted failures.
Retry Policies control backoff and maximum attempts. Retry Jobs are scheduled recovery work after failed deliveries; exhausted failures become Dead Letters.
Retry Job / Dead Letter
Where it sits in the pipeline
Retries define recovery policy and expose retry jobs after delivery failures.
Remember this distinction
Retry policies are configuration; retry jobs are runtime work created from failures.
