Retry Strategies
Retry without causing storms
Good retry strategies use exponential backoff with jitter, caps, and idempotent operations to avoid thundering herds and cascading failures.
- backoff
- jitter
- caps
- timeouts
- idempotent
Pick Backoff
Use exponential backoff with jitter; set sensible max attempts.
Protect Systems
Combine with timeouts and circuit breakers; avoid tight loops.
Log and Alert
Record retries and failures; alert on spikes.

API Basics
APIs let software request data or actions from other systems through defined endpoints and responses.
Comparison
RAM vs Storage
RAM handles what your device is actively working on, while storage keeps apps, files, and system data available over time.
How it works
Global Positioning System
GPS uses timing signals from satellites to calculate a receiver's position on Earth.
What it is
Blockchain
A blockchain is a distributed ledger secured by cryptography and consensus nodes.
