Automated retries using Axios interceptors provide reliability, speed, scalability, and resilience. Configuring retries involves setting the number of retries, delay between retries, and conditional retries. The Axios-Retry plugin simplifies the process. Other libraries like retry-axios offer similar capabilities. Testing and debugging retry logic is important, and caution must be taken to avoid circular retries. Axios is widely used in React apps and can be used for any HTTP backend. Automated retries are essential for building robust apps that handle remote services.
