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

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 *

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
