How does exponential backoff improve the efficiency of retry mechanisms?
- By decreasing the delay between retry attempts
- By gradually increasing the delay between retry attempts
- By keeping the delay constant for all retry attempts
- By retrying the failed tasks immediately
Exponential backoff improves the efficiency of retry mechanisms by gradually increasing the delay between retry attempts after each failure. This approach helps alleviate congestion and reduce contention in the system during periods of high load or transient failures. By spacing out retry attempts exponentially, it allows the system to recover more gracefully and reduces the likelihood of exacerbating the underlying issues.
