Exponential backoff with jitter
Why add jitter to exponential backoff in a retry loop?
Options
- 1To reduce the average latency by making each individual retry attempt complete faster on the wire
- 2To reduce the number of retries all the way to zero by giving up as soon as the first jitter fires
- 3Synchronized retries from many clients would otherwise align into retry storms; jitter spreads them out
- 4To bypass rate limits by randomizing the request timing so that throttling is never triggered
