Cloud Client Library uploads occasionally fail with HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout. How should you make the application more resilient?

An exponential backoff process is the most effective solution for intermittent network errors like HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout. This strategy involves retrying failed requests with progressively longer delays between retries, reducing the load on the server and increasing the likelihood of success as the underlying issue resolves. A fixed one-second wait time is less effective because it doesn't adapt to the server's recovery time and could still overwhelm it. Designing a retry button shifts the responsibility to the user and doesn't automate resilience. Creating a queue with a 10-minute delay introduces significant latency and a poor user experience for what might be a transient issue.
