Retry Strategy

When to Retry

Idempotency and Deduplication

• Assign your own external_job_id for each source asset.
• Before create-job retry, query internal DB to avoid duplicates.
• Store all attempts and final status for observability.

Quality Guardrails

• Prefer representative source clips when tuning model defaults.
• Keep input compression moderate to preserve edge details.
• Use explicit output format policy for transparent vs non-transparent workflows.
• Run A/B validation with the same clip set before changing defaults.

Implementation Checklist

1. Define payload schema validation in backend before forwarding requests.
2. Store model/output_format/background settings with each job record.
3. Add internal quality review for difficult scenes (hair, glass, motion blur).
4. Create runbook entries for model-specific failure cases.
