The code samples are divided in three retry mechanisms. These retry mechanisms use the following Spring profiles: Fixed, exponential and non-blocking.

1. go to the root directory of the code.
2. execute the following command:docker-compose up -d
3. wait for the containers to be brought up, go tohttp://localhost:8080 to verify AKHQ is running.
4. set the active profile in the run/debug configuration in intelliJ. (fixed, exponential or non-blocking).
5. run the application
6. Post a null message body.
7. You should see the message come in with the log message processing message: [your message] after which the message is retried. How it is retried depends on which profile you chose. See the blog for further details on the retry mechanisms.
