Using Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience

[danielwertheim]

Can the Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience package be used with YARP or do YARP have it's own HttpClient-factory etc meaning e.g AddStandardResilienceHandler() as shown here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/resilience/http-resilience?tabs=dotnet-cli will not work?

YARP does not use IHttpClientFactory, but a custom IForwarderHttpClientFactory, so you can't use the factory extensions.

You're able to inject your custom handlers into the HttpClient, but retires at that layer may not be the most effective with YARP.
That is, instead of retrying a request to the same destination, you likely want to try a different one and let YARP know that the first one is unhealthy.

There's some more discussion about this in #56.
