Retry Storm Simulator
Compare naive retries against Adaptive Retry Budgeting and see how retry amplification changes request volume, downstream load, and AI token cost.
Naive retries
Adaptive strategy
Retry Amplification Factor estimates how much extra downstream traffic a retry policy creates during partial failures. With failure probability p, retry count n, and service depth d, naive multi-tier retries can grow roughly as ((1 - p^(n + 1)) / (1 - p))^d.
Adaptive Retry Budgeting treats retries as a bounded shared resource. When failure rates rise or backpressure appears, the retry budget shrinks, limiting RAF while preserving some recovery from transient failures.
