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.

UnverifiedFull 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
