AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question

Implementing retries with exponential backoff and jitter is considered a best practice when dealing with intermittent failures, such as throttling by an AWS service. This approach gradually increases the wait time between retries, reducing the potential for recurring conflicts and mitigating the risk of overwhelming the service with repeated requests. Jitter further randomizes the wait times, helping to prevent synchronized retries from multiple sources, which could lead to additional throttling. The other options may provide benefits in different contexts but do not directly address the issue of intermittent failures due to throttling as effectively as exponential backoff with jitter.
