Description

When you hit the retry button on dashboard it re-runs all the tasks re-generating the function signature. But there is one problem if the function is taking some database or any non-primitive datatype then it fails on re-run.

The goal is to find a solution that can help with supporting third world functions all at once or atleast the database connection or if it is totally impossible then just disable the button for such cases.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how background tasks are serialized in FastAPI and propose a solution to handle database connections or disable retry button for non serializable arguments.
