 ## Retries and backoff
 
-The first attempt to connect to the database server is made when the client is created, which happens instantly when GatewayD starts. However, if the first attempt fails, the client will retry the connection. The default number of retries is `3`, which means that the client will retry the connection three times before giving up. Setting it to `0` disables the retry mechanism. The client can also backoff before retrying the connection. The backoff duration is set to `1s` by default and `0s` disables the backoff mechanism. The backoff multiplier is set to `2` by default and `0` disables the backoff. The backoff multiplier is applied to the backoff duration. The backoff duration is capped at `60s` by default and the max retry is capped at `10` by default. Setting `disableBackoffCaps` to `true` disables the backoff and retry caps.

 > The first attempt to connect to the database server is counted as a retry, hence the three retries are actually four attempts (one instant attempt and three retry attempts), and the backoff duration is applied to the second attempt and so on.
