All services have objectives
A resilient service should be able to withstand a 10x
traffic spike and continue to meet those objectives
Lets Talk About… Queues Overload Mitigation Adaptive Concurrency
Lets Talk About… Queues Overload Mitigation Adaptive Concurrency
What causes overload?
What causes overload? Server Queue
What causes overload? Server Queue Processing Time Arrival Rate >
Little’s Law Elements in the queue = Arrival Rate *
Processing Time
Little’s Law Server 1 requests = 10 rps * 100
ms 100ms
Little’s Law Server 1 requests = 10 rps * 100

Little’s Law Server 30 requests = 10 rps * 3000

Little’s Law Server 30 requests = 10 rps * ∞

Little’s Law 30 requests = 10 rps * ∞ ms

This is bad

Regulator https://github.com/keathley/regulator
Regulator.install(:service, [ limit: {Regulator.Limit.AIMD, [timeout: 500]} ]) Regulator.ask(:service, fn ->
{:ok, Finch.request(:get, "https://keathley.io")} end) Regulator
Conclusion
Queues are everywhere
Those queues need to be bounded to avoid overload
If your system is dynamic, your solution will also need
to be dynamic
Go and build awesome stuff
