Worked on the aerospike-client-java repository to enhance backend reliability by implementing exponential backoff in retry logic. Developed a new sleepMultiplier property within retry policies and executors, allowing dynamic adjustment of wait times based on system load and policy configuration. This approach reduced retry storms and improved resource utilization, particularly under high-load scenarios. Leveraged Java and asynchronous programming techniques to integrate the feature seamlessly into existing API design. The work focused on backend development, addressing stability concerns by enabling more adaptive and resilient retry behavior, and contributed a single feature that improved the robustness of the client’s error-handling mechanisms.
