Best Practices for Setting wait time backoff_factor: How Do You Optimize It?

9 Replies, 1238 Views

Hey Alex! I’ve been experimenting with dynamic wait time backoff_factor adjustments based on server load. It’s a bit more complex, but it’s been worth it.

I use a base factor of 1.0 and then adjust it based on the server’s response time. If the server is slow, I increase the wait time backoff_factor by 0.2 for each retry.

Tools like `Retry-After` headers can also help you fine-tune this. If the server sends one, I just use that instead of guessing.
