A beginner-friendly walkthrough showing how to integrate the Polly Wait and Retry policy into a .NET 5 Blazor Server app. The setup includes a faulty Web API controller that fails 75% of the time, and a Razor page that wraps HTTP calls with a Polly retry policy retrying up to three times with 2, 4, and 6 second delays. UI updates reflect retry status in real time. This is part 1 of a series, with future posts planned to cover Polly Context, policy registries, and dependency injection.
