Backoff until maximum `retryDelay`?

[adamhamlin]

Curious if there's an idiomatic way to handle this kind of use case:

• I have a "retry" job that will run after a failure event is encountered (e.g., a remote server is down). It's important that this action take place eventually
• I want this job to use exponential backoff (retryBackoff), but at some point I don't want to keep doubling the delay. For example, maybe after I hit a 15 min delay, I want to just keep retrying every 15 minutes (instead of going to 30 min, 60, 120, etc)
• I'd like this job to just stick around until the failure is resolved (just use a very high value for expireInHours?)

I know that I could just implement the retry/backoff in my job handler, but is there a better way? Maybe using the onComplete callback to orchestrate? Or something else I'm overlooking?

Thanks for your time.

Yes, I would recommend using onComplete for this.
