HTTP resilience tradeoffs in practice: retry vs Retry-After vs hedging

I ran 3 controlled chaos scenarios comparing retry-only, Retry-After-aware retry, and hedging.

One run improved success with retries but significantly worsened p95/p99 under a tight timeout budget. Another showed that honoring Retry-After turned a 40% 429-heavy error profile into stable completion. More in the post.

Your HTTP Client Is Lying to You

You tightened your client with retries and resilience knobs. Sometimes that helps. Sometimes it quietly makes latency and reliability worse.
