AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
An application running on Amazon ECS makes HTTP API calls to an AWS service. Occasionally the service returns 5xx errors caused by transient throttling. The development team needs to implement a client-side technique that improves resilience without creating traffic spikes that could overwhelm the service. Which approach meets these requirements?
Retry failed requests after a fixed delay between attempts
Increase the request payload size with every retry
Send multiple parallel requests each time a call fails
Implement retries with exponential backoff and jitter
Retries with exponential backoff and jitter spread retry attempts over progressively longer, randomized intervals. This reduces the chance of synchronized retry storms and gives the downstream AWS service time to recover. Fixed-delay retries, parallel requests, or increasing the request payload do not mitigate overload and can amplify failures.
