Function exponential

exponential(options?: ExponentialBackoffOptions): BackoffStrategy

Exponential backoff - delay multiplies by a factor each retry

Parameters

options: ExponentialBackoffOptions = {}

Returns BackoffStrategy

Example

agenda.define('myJob', handler, {
  backoff: exponential({ delay: 1000, factor: 2, maxRetries: 5 })
});
// Retries at: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s

// With jitter to prevent thundering herd:
agenda.define('myJob', handler, {
  backoff: exponential({ delay: 1000, factor: 2, maxRetries: 5, jitter: 0.2 })
});
