Rules that apply · 3

Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.

Queue without dead-letter queueerror

queue-missing-dlq

A queue that receives asynchronous traffic and has no dead-letter queue either drops poison messages or retries them forever. Neither outcome leaves anything for a human to investigate.

— all of these hold:
— the node's `deadLetterQueue` is false
— the node has at least one asynchronous incoming edge

Retry queue without dead-letter queueerror

retry-queue-without-dlq

A retry queue is where poison messages end up. With no dead-letter queue they are retried forever or dropped in silence, and nobody ever looks at the failed payment.

— all of these hold:
— the node's `role` is "retry"
— the node's `deadLetterQueue` is false

Retry queue without backoffwarning

retry-without-backoff

Retrying a transient failure at full speed turns one slow dependency into a retry storm. A retry queue backs off, preferably exponentially and with jitter.

— all of these hold:
— the node's `role` is "retry"
— any of these hold:
— the node's `backoff` has no value
— the node's `backoff` is "none"
