Idempotency keys for APIs: stop duplicate orders, emails, and writes
When retries create duplicate side effects, idempotency keys are the only safe fix. This playbook shows how to design keys, store results, and prove duplicates cannot recur.
Trading bot keeps getting 429s after deploy: stop rate limit storms
When deploys trigger 429 storms: why synchronized restarts amplify rate limits, how to diagnose fixed window vs leaky bucket, and guardrails that stop repeat incidents.
HttpClient keeps getting 429s: why retries amplify rate limiting in .NET
When retries multiply 429 errors instead of fixing them: how retry amplification happens, how to prove it, and how to honor Retry-After with budgets.
Polly Retry Policies Done Right: Backoff, Jitter, Caps & Stop Rules (.NET 8)
When retries amplify failures instead of fixing them: how retry storms happen in .NET, how to prove it, and the four components that stop cascading failures.
Retries making outages worse: when resilience policies multiply failures in .NET
Retry storms don't look like a bug—they look like good engineering until retries amplify failures and multiply in-flight requests during backpressure.
How to Stop AI Agents from Looping Forever: Guardrails & Stop Rules
Stop AI agents from calling the same tool repeatedly in production. Learn retry budgets, loop detection, human-in-the-loop escalation, idempotency keys, and guardrails that prevent runaway token costs and duplicate side effects. Code examples included.
Exponential Backoff with Jitter Explained: Formula, Code, and Best Practices
Exponential backoff with jitter explained with code examples. Learn the formula, when to use full jitter vs equal jitter, how to cap retry delays, and why this pattern prevents retry storms in production. Python and C# implementations included.
API key suddenly forbidden: why exchange APIs ban trading bots without warning
When API key flips from working to 403 forbidden after bot runs for hours: why exchange APIs ban trading bots for traffic bursts, retry storms, and auth failures, and the client behavior that prevents it.
