Często zadawane pytania
- When should I use exponential backoff?
- For API retries (429/5xx), queues, and DB clients — to avoid hammering the service.
- What does a longer backoff give?
- Slower retries and less load; too long without a cap delays recovery.
- What values are typical?
- Base 0.5–2 s, multiplier 2, max a few–tens of seconds; jitter 10–50%.
- What looks “bad”?
- Fixed short retries without cap/jitter, or uncapped growth into minutes.
