Abstract: A method includes, in response to receiving an incoming service request and establishing a call chain of pods of a service mesh network, setting a retry locker parameter to a locked state for each pod in the call chain. A locked retry locker parameter prevents the pod from initiating retries of a service request. The method includes, in response to determining that a pod in the call chain is unavailable, setting the retry locker parameter to an unlocked state for a previous pod just prior to the pod that is unavailable. The unlocked state allows a retry to the pod that is unavailable. In response to the previous pod reaching a retry limit, the method includes setting the retry locker parameter to unlocked for each pod in the call chain and sending a service termination message to a service requester.
