etl-retry-backoff-simulator

When to invoke

• You are tuning retries/backoff for ETL jobs, API ingestion, or batch pipelines.
• You need to compare strategies (fixed delay vs exponential + jitter).
• You want a quick estimate of expected runtime, attempts, and wasted work under failure.

Inputs needed

• A JSON config with:
  • attempts_max
  • base_delay_seconds
  • strategy: fixed, exponential, or exponential_jitter
  • failure_probability per attempt (0..1)
  • work_seconds_per_attempt (time spent before a failure/success)
  • trials for Monte Carlo simulation
