Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been tinkering with the wait time backoff_factor in my retry logic, and I’m kinda stuck on how to optimize it. Like, what’s the sweet spot? Too low, and you’re hammering the server; too high, and you’re just waiting forever.
I’ve seen some folks use a wait time backoff_factor of 0.5, but others swear by 1.5 or even 2.0. What’s your take?
Also, does anyone factor in the server’s response time or just go with a flat rate? I’m curious if there’s a smarter way to adjust the wait time backoff_factor dynamically.
Kinda new to this, so any tips or war stories would be awesome. Thx in advance!
Cheers,
Alex
