Quick Base is rock solid, but we should implement exponential backoff retries to mitigate intermittent instances of the trauma train.

For reference, this is Amazon's approach: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/api-retries.html

Quick Base error codes that are temporary and should trigger a retry:

https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/errorcodes.html

  • 77: API request limit exceeded (backoff, or circuit breaker trigger?)
  • 82: Operation took too long
  • 84: Database error (verify whether this is temporary)
  • 100: Technical Difficulties -- try again later
  • 101: Quick Base is temporarily unavailable due to technical difficulties
  • 104: Your Quick Base app is experiencing unusually heavy traffic. Please wait a few minutes and re-try this command.
  • 105: Quick Base is experiencing technical difficulties
