Need Advice To Add Exponenital Back-off Logic In Aws Api In Python

I have a few lambda functions which is making mutliple AWS Elastic beanstalk API Call written in python. It was working fine. but since last few days we are getting Throttling erro

Solution 1:

You can use a proxy object to wrap around any AWS client object and add some retrying logic to the proxy object:

from botocore.exceptions import ClientError
import retrying
import wrapt

classRetriedClient(wrapt.ObjectProxy):
"""Add retry logic to a boto3 client.

Wait 2^x * 1000 milliseconds between each retry, up to 10 seconds,
then 10 seconds afterwards.

"""defis_throttling_error(exception):
        """Botocore throws just a generic ClientError exception."""returnisinstance(exception, ClientError) \
            and"RequestLimitExceeded"in exception.response

    @retrying.retry(
        wait_exponential_multiplier=1000,
        wait_exponential_max=10000, 
        retry_on_exception=is_throttling_error)def__getattr__(self, name):
        returngetattr(self.__wrapped__, name)


# Create a boto3 client to Cloudformation
cf_client = boto3.client('cloudformation')

# Add exponential backoff retries to all client methods
wrapped_cf_client = RetriedClient(cf_client)

Then you can just use wrapped_cf_client as you would normally use boto3's built-in client:

resp = wrapped_cf_client.describe_stacks()

DEPRECATION NOTE:

In newer versions of botocore there is a better way of configuring the retry logic of the boto3 SDKs. This works starting from version 1.6.0 of botocore:

from botocore.config import Config

config = Config(
    retries = dict(
        max_attempts = 10
    )
)

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', config=config)
