Runtime resolution of a programmatic error using an internal request retry

A computer system comprising:

• a processor set;
• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media to cause the processor set to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request from a client directed to an application programming interface (API) of (i) a cloud native application hosted in a container included in a pod or (ii) a monolithic application deployed in a virtual machine (VM);
• responsive to the request, detecting a failure of the API due to a programmatic error in the cloud native or monolithic application;
• generating a fix of the programmatic error in a source code of the cloud native or monolithic application, the fix being changed code;
• deploying the fix in the container or the VM;
• and
• retrying the request to (i) the cloud native application corrected by the fix deployed in the container or (ii) the monolithic application corrected by the fix deployed in the VM, wherein the retrying is performed by a component internal to the pod or the VM.
