Did we go backwards with Polly?

Summary

The transcript discusses the evolution of Poly, a fault tolerance library, from version 7 to version 8, highlighting a significant API transformation from static to instance-based. The new version introduces a resilience pipeline builder approach that allows developers to define resilient strategies like wait and retry more flexibly. The updated API offers key improvements including better performance, reduced memory allocation, and native support for asynchronous methods, making it a more robust and efficient library for handling fault tolerance.
