Retry with Exponential Backoff

Retry transient failures with exponentially growing delays plus random jitter so recovering services are not hammered by synchronized retry storms. Retry only idempotent operations, cap total attempts, and budget retries against the caller's own deadline.

Adding Jitter to Exponential Backoff Retries in Distributed Systems

Exponential backoff is a retry-scheduling rule in distributed systems under which the delay before the nth retry grows as base × 2^n, giving a failing or recovering dependency progressively more time…
