# Polly vs choco

Polly and choco share 5 technologies: System.ValueTuple, Microsoft.Extensions.Options, System.ComponentModel.Annotations, System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource, and Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions. Both are written in C#.

- [App-vNext/Polly](https://seerepo.com/r/App-vNext/Polly): Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner. From version 6.0.1, Polly targets .NET Standard 1.1 and 2.0+.
- [chocolatey/choco](https://seerepo.com/r/chocolatey/choco): Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: System.ValueTuple, Microsoft.Extensions.Options, System.ComponentModel.Annotations, System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions
- Only in Polly: Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console
- Only in choco: System.Runtime, System.Security.Principal.Windows, Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, log4net
