Exponential backoff progressively lengthens the wait time between retries, while random jitter adds a random offset on top of the backoff time to smooth out traffic spikes.

UnverifiedExponential backoff retry retries failed requests at gradually increasing time intervals to avoid cascading concurrent surges.76% similarUnverifiedFull jitter sacrifices retry latency for individual clients, but significantly reduces the temporal synchronization among the client population, most effectively smoothing out traffic spikes.76% similarUnverifiedExponential backoff is a classic fault-tolerance strategy in distributed systems, where clients wait at exponentially increasing intervals (e.g., 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds) upon request failure, with random jitter added to avoid the thundering herd effect.76% similar
