A developer joins your team and asks a simple question: where do I change the retry policy.Three people give three different answers. One points to a worker config file, another…

The system still runs, but nobody wants to touch it.A small change breaks something unrelated.A quick fix becomes permanent.On call starts relying on tribal knowledge instead of clear signals.Every month…

A service feels rock-solid for weeks, then it starts to wobble in a way that is hard to pin down.Nothing is fully down, but queues grow longer, retries become routine,…

You do not notice the problem at first. Requests still go through. Tasks still complete. Dashboards stay green.But bills creep upward, retry counts quietly grow, and success rates start depending…

A task is running and results are still coming back.But something feels off. Latency becomes uneven.Retries happen more often.A few nodes start producing slower responses.Your throughput looks fine on paper,…

A job slows down, but nothing “fails.”A batch finishes, but the output is missing pieces.Retries spike, but logs look clean.Two nodes run the same task, yet one drifts and nobody…

Requests are going through.No obvious blocks.No visible errors.Yet over time, the success rate quietly slides downward. Some days everything feels smooth.Other days, under the same setup, outcomes are worse.Retries increase.Latency…

A long-running task can look healthy for a while, then quietly start bleeding efficiency.One node times out, a few retries pile up, output arrives unevenly, and the pipeline slows without…

Your workload is growing, so you add more nodes.At first it feels like the obvious fix: more nodes should mean more speed, more capacity, and fewer failures.Then the weird part…

You send the same request again and again, but the results keep changing.Sometimes it succeeds instantly. Other times it stalls, retries, or fails for no clear reason.From a user’s perspective,…
