Effort
A few months

Engineering teams often face API overload due to retry storms, causing downtime and performance issues. A tool to detect and mitigate these storms could save time and resources.

Develop a monitoring system that identifies retry patterns and implements throttling or fallback mechanisms.

Charge based on the number of monitored endpoints or API calls.

The MVP could focus on basic detection and logging.

The biggest risk is competition from existing monitoring tools.
