   I'm suspicious of load shedding not mentioned in the article. Combine that with exp backoff in the caller and you got yourself a pretty robust starting point

      429 (and sometimes 503) errors returned by servers might well be a symptom of intentional load shedding. Perhaps it's just not explicitly called out as a server behavior that induces client retries.
