@Marvin how can add some jitter to the start of a bunch of parallel tasks kicked off with map

To add jitter to the start of parallel tasks kicked off with

map

in Prefect 3.x, you can utilize the

retry_jitter_factor

option. This option introduces a random amount of time to the retry periods, helping to prevent "thundering herd" scenarios where many tasks might start at the same time. Here's a conceptual approach: 1. Use the

retry_jitter_factor

to add variance to the base delay time. 2. Set a retry delay and apply the jitter factor to introduce random delays. For example, if you have a retry delay of 10 seconds and set a

retry_jitter_factor

of 0.5, the delay can vary up to 15 seconds. For more detailed implementation, you can refer to the Prefect documentation: Prefect Tasks with Jitter.
