Configuring AWS SDK Retry Policies via application.properties

[Shanzeee]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on configuring the retry behavior for AWS SDK clients in Quarkus applications, and I noticed there’s no built-in way to define retry policies (e.g., RetryMode or maximum retries) via the application.properties file.

Currently, configuring AWS SDK retry policies requires manually creating a custom bean with ClientOverrideConfiguration.

Example for DynamoDbAsyncClient:

DynamoDbAsyncClient.builder()
    .overrideConfiguration(
        ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder()
            .retryPolicy(RetryMode.STANDARD)
            .build()
    )
    .build()

This approach works but feels inconsistent with Quarkus's configuration-driven approach.

Questions:

• Is there an easier way to configure retry policies that I might have missed?
• Are there plans to support properties like this in the future?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

Does something very simple like this would be enough.

quarkus.dynamodb.advanced.retry-strategy.retry-mode=STANDARD # one of RetryMode enum
quarkus.dynamodb.advanced.retry-strategy.max-attempts=3
