Hi, everyone.? The latest in the Wallaroo Labs blog series was published this morning. It's an article I wrote that presents a brief overview of queueing networks and what the term overload means for a queueing network, followed by an outline of some common techniques that computer systems use to mitigate the effects of overload.
It's the first part of a two part series.? The second article will be published next week, on Tuesday, April 3, 2018.? That article looks very specifically at Wallaroo and how it uses back-pressure to handle overload, i.e., data sinks that are slower than Wallaroo, or data sources that are faster than Wallaroo.
