I am the author of th is article.Thank you for reading and important the insight and I second your opinion about DLQ flooding. We have the following strategy configured in our consumers to avoid DLQ flooding

ExponentialBackOffWithMaxRetries backOff = new ExponentialBackOffWithMaxRetries(3);

backOff.setInitialInterval(2000L); // 2 seconds initial delay

backOff.setMultiplier(2.0); // Exponential backoff

backOff.setMaxInterval(30000L); // Max delay 30 seconds

backOff.setMaxAttempts(3); // Retry 3 times before DLQ
