Java: Timeouts and Retries
Answer
Implement simple retry logic with exponential backoff.
Network glitches can cause temporary failures. A simple retry mechanism with exponential backoff gradually increases wait times between retries, reducing load on the server. In an e-commerce application, retrying a failed inventory update request can ensure data consistency without overwhelming the server.
