# Backoff
|
|
|
|
A simple exponential backoff counter in Go (Golang)
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get -v github.com/jpillora/backoff
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Backoff is a `time.Duration` counter. It starts at `Min`. After every call to `Duration()` it is multiplied by `Factor`. It is capped at `Max`. It returns to `Min` on every call to `Reset()`. `Jitter` adds randomness ([see below](#example-using-jitter)). Used in conjunction with the `time` package.

|
#### Simple example
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
|
|
b := &backoff.Backoff{
|
|
//These are the defaults
|
|
Min: 100 * time.Millisecond,
|
|
Max: 10 * time.Second,
|
|
Factor: 2,
|
|
Jitter: false,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("Reset!\n")
|
|
b.Reset()
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```

```

|
#### Example using `net` package
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
b := &backoff.Backoff{
|
|
Max: 5 * time.Minute,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
for {
|
|
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "example.com:5309")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
d := b.Duration()
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s, reconnecting in %s", err, d)
|
|
time.Sleep(d)
|
|
continue
|
|
}
|
|
//connected
|
|
b.Reset()
|
|
conn.Write([]byte("hello world!"))
|
|
// ... Read ... Write ... etc
|
|
conn.Close()
|
|
//disconnected
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```

#### Example using `Jitter`
|
|
|
|
Enabling `Jitter` adds some randomization to the backoff durations. [See Amazon's writeup of performance gains using jitter](http://www.awsarchitectureblog.com/2015/03/backoff.html). Seeding is not necessary but doing so gives repeatable results.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "math/rand"
|
|
|
|
b := &backoff.Backoff{
|
|
Jitter: true,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
rand.Seed(42)
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("Reset!\n")
|
|
b.Reset()
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Duration())
|
|
```
