How to handle 409 Conflict error in a RESTful API gracefully?
Hi,
I’m facing a problem with a 409 Conflict error in my RESTful API, especially when updating resources or handling concurrent requests. From what I understand, it happens when there’s a mismatch with the current state of the resource, but I’m not sure how to deal with it effectively on both the client and server sides.
I found this blog that breaks down the causes and solutions for this error. It looks useful, but some parts were a bit hard to follow for me.
If anyone has experience with resolving this, could you share some examples? For instance, how do you handle things like optimistic locking or retries?
