App-vNext/Polly

Polly is a resilience and fault-tolerance library for .NET that provides a unified API for implementing patterns like retry, circuit breaking, and rate limiting. The system has evolved to support a modern, high-performance resilience pipeline architecture that enables dynamic reloading, structured telemetry, and comprehensive chaos engineering capabilities. It also maintains backward compatibility with legacy policy-based APIs while offering new features such as hedging, bulkhead isolation, and dependency injection integration.

How it got here

2013–2023 · V8 Resilience Pipeline Architecture

The project underwent a comprehensive architectural overhaul, introducing a new V8 resilience API centered on the ResiliencePipeline and a modular component system. This period saw the removal of legacy .NET framework support and the addition of advanced strategies like hedging, rate limiting, and chaos engineering via the Simmy library.

2024–2025 · Chaos engineering and test coverage

This period focused on implementing core chaos engineering logic for the Simmy module, specifically adding helpers for failure injection and weighted outcome selection. Concurrently, the team expanded test coverage across utility classes, exception handling, and registry configurations to ensure robustness.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 5 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 6cc79edcca — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
