How they integrate with the concept of retries?

07/06/2023, 2:29 PMWe can discuss more when we regroup, but the most important use case for results is caching. Say you’re making 100,000 API calls… you’ll want to use results (via caching) to store those so that you don’t have to redo any requests in case of failure or changes to your code.

And sure, let's discuss when we regroup if my qiuestion is not too basic XD
