`go-retry` is a package that helps facilitate retry logic with jittered

exponential backoff.  It provides a convenient interface for configuring various

parameters.  See below for more information.

## Example

```go

func makeNetworkCall(ctx context.Context) {

    defaultBackoff := retry.DefaultBackoff()

    // try at most 5 times

    getErr := retry.Retry(ctx, defaultBackoff, 5, func(ctx context.Context) error {

        response, err := http.Get("https://my.favorite.service")

        if err != nil {

            return err

        }

        // do something with response...

    })

    if getErr != nil {

        // get failed, even after all the retries

    }

}

```
