Java: Exponential Backoff Retries
Answer
Introduce increasing delay between retries.
Exponential backoff is a retry mechanism where the time between retries increases exponentially. This helps in reducing the load on the network and gives time for temporary issues to resolve. For instance, in a Java application, rather than retrying a failed request immediately, you could wait 1 second, then 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, and so on.
