Full jitter sacrifices retry latency for individual clients, but significantly reduces the temporal synchronization among the client population, most effectively smoothing out traffic spikes.

UnverifiedExponential 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.76% similarUnverifiedWithout exponential backoff, a brief server-side outage causes all failed clients to immediately retry simultaneously, forming a retry storm that is more destructive than the original traffic.71% 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.71% similarUnverified对于智能体类应用，长时间稳定运行比运行速度更重要，因中断会导致缓存状态丢失和任务失败70% similar
