It feels to me like a peak of 60 jobs per minute is pretty high. If I
understand correctly, we run up to 20 dataflow jobs in parallel per test
suite? Or what's the number here?

It is also true that most our tests are simple NeedsRunner tests, that test
a couple elements, so the whole pipeline overhead is on startup. This may
be improved by lumping tests together (though might we lose
debuggability?).  Our average number of jobs is, I hope, muuuch smaller
than 60 per minute...

With all these considerations, I would lean more towards having a retry
policy as the immediate solution.
-P.
