Answer
It mitigates retry storms and allows systems to recover.
By using Exponential Backoff, microservices can avoid retry storms, which occur when too many requests are retried at once, overwhelming the system. This method provides a graceful way to handle temporary network faults. For instance, an order processing service might experience a short downtime; using backoff would prevent the system from being flooded with retry requests as soon as it comes back online.
