Demeter / Exponential backoff to reduce number of error retries

Last active April 3, 2024 00:17

Implement an incremental delay for polling status, in context of cloud.

	Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in AWS
	see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/api-retries.html for context.

	Numerous components on a network, such as DNS servers, switches, load balancers, and others can generate
	errors anywhere in the life of a given request. The usual technique for dealing with these error responses
	in a networked environment is to implement retries in the client application. This technique increases the
	reliability of the application and reduces operational costs for the developer.

	Each AWS SDK implements automatic retry logic. The AWS SDK for Java automatically retries requests, and you
	can configure the retry settings using the ClientConfiguration class. For example, in some cases, such as
