// Backend is used to store and access data.

// Backend operations that return an error will be retried when a Backend is
// wrapped in a RetryBackend. To prevent that from happening, the operations
// should return a github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v4.PermanentError. Errors from
// the context package need not be wrapped, as context cancellation is checked
// separately by the retrying logic.
