Quick Answer
Transient failures are temporary - network blip, brief overload, GC pause. Handle with retries (exponential backoff + jitter). Distinguish transient from permanent failures (4xx client errors shouldn't be retried, 5xx server errors and timeouts can be). Resilience4j, Polly, and similar libraries handle retry logic. Always set max retry count and total timeout to prevent indefinite retrying.
