I've successfully implemented backon retry logic for the get_step_of_flow_status function! ✅

Todo List

Find the get_step_of_flow_status function in the codebase
Analyze current implementation and error handling
Check if backon is already a dependency
Add backon dependency if needed
Implement retry logic using backon
Run backend validation with cargo check
Commit and push changes
Create draft PR

Implementation Summary

I've enhanced the get_step_of_flow_status function in backend/windmill-queue/src/flow_status.rs with retry logic using the backon library. The implementation follows the established patterns used throughout the Windmill codebase.

Key changes:

Added backon import statements
Wrapped the database query with constant backoff retry logic
Configuration: 500ms delay, max 3 retries
Added warning logs for retry attempts with error details and timing
Maintains the exact same functionality while adding resilience

Why this approach:

Uses existing dependency (backon v1.3.0 already in workspace)
Follows consistent patterns from other files like jobs.rs, scripts.rs, and worker_utils.rs
Provides resilience against temporary database connectivity issues
Includes proper error logging for debugging

Draft Pull Request Created

🔗 PR #6411: feat: add retry logic to get_step_of_flow_status using backon

The changes are minimal and focused, adding resilience without changing the core functionality. The retry logic will help handle temporary database issues that could otherwise cause flow status fetching to fail.
