Fancy name for a simple idea: when your request fails due to problems on the other side, try again in 1s. If it fails again, retry in 2s. And so on, doubling the retry interval each time. That way you give the other side time to recover, instead of adding more stress.

Yea, I have the explanation. But, I'm very much in camp, "you don't understand it until you can grow it," so I'll be spending time doing some vaguely-queuing-theory-like simulations today :)

That's cool. If it's not too much work, do share the code of your experiments!

Oh I will! In fact, what I'm building right now is for "blogging" with Jupyter/IPython, so I know exactly how I'll share it :)
