Extending Failsafe-go

Failsafe-go can be extended to add custom policies along with the existing policies.

Custom Policies

Policies consist of a failsafe.Policy implementation, containing the necessary configuration to handle executions along with any policy state, and a policy.Executor implementation to handle individual executions according to a policy. Policies can be stateful across executions, such as circuit breakers, or stateless, such as retry policies.

The policy package provides base types to help with building a custom policy. Those along with the existing policy.Executor implementations are a good reference for creating custom implementations.
