# Exponential Backoff [![GoDoc][godoc image]][godoc] [![Build Status][travis image]][travis] [![Coverage Status][coveralls image]][coveralls]
|
|
|
|
This is a Go port of the exponential backoff algorithm from [Google's HTTP Client Library for Java][google-http-java-client].
|
|
|
|
[Exponential backoff][exponential backoff wiki]
|
|
is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process,
|
|
in order to gradually find an acceptable rate.
|
|
The retries exponentially increase and stop increasing when a certain threshold is met.
|
|
