+# Retry Addon
+
+Retry addon for [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) designed to apply retry mechanism for unsuccessful network
+operations. This addon uses exponential backoff algorithm with jitter. It calls the function multiple times and tries
+to make it successful. If all calls are failed, then, it returns error. It adds a jitter at each retry step because adding
+a jitter is a way to break synchronization across the client and avoid collision.

+func NewExponentialBackoff(config ...Config) *ExponentialBackoff
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+Firstly, import the addon from Fiber,
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/addon/retry"
+)
+```
+
+## Default Config
+
+```go
+retry.NewExponentialBackoff()
+```
+
+## Custom Config
+
+```go
+retry.NewExponentialBackoff(retry.Config{
+        InitialInterval: 2 * time.Second,
+        MaxBackoffTime:  64 * time.Second,
+        Multiplier:      2.0,
+        MaxRetryCount:   15,
+})
+```
+
+## Config
+
+```go
+// Config defines the config for addon.
+type Config struct {
+    // InitialInterval defines the initial time interval for backoff algorithm.
+    //
+    // Optional. Default: 1 * time.Second
+    InitialInterval time.Duration
+
+    // MaxBackoffTime defines maximum time duration for backoff algorithm. When
+    // the algorithm is reached this time, rest of the retries will be maximum
+    // 32 seconds.
+    //
+    // Optional. Default: 32 * time.Second
+    MaxBackoffTime time.Duration
+
+    // Multiplier defines multiplier number of the backoff algorithm.
+    //
+    // Optional. Default: 2.0
+    Multiplier float64
+
+    // MaxRetryCount defines maximum retry count for the backoff algorithm.
+    //
+    // Optional. Default: 10
+    MaxRetryCount int
+
+    // currentInterval tracks the current waiting time.
+    //
+    // Optional. Default: 1 * time.Second
+    currentInterval time.Duration
+}
+```
+
+## Default Config Example
+
+```go
+// DefaultConfig is the default config for retry.
+var DefaultConfig = Config{
+	InitialInterval: 1 * time.Second,
+	MaxBackoffTime:  32 * time.Second,
+	Multiplier:      2.0,
+	MaxRetryCount:   10,
+	currentInterval: 1 * time.Second,
