On dealing with backpressure, I would recommend what Zach Tellman writes about in his video "Everything will flow": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 Tellman also tells his own adventure about a system something like this: "a system that would latch up into an overload state because in overload it would log errors at a severity high enough to force the log file to be flushed on every line" He talks about some problems he faced when writing to Amazon S3, when S3 stopped accepting requests. It's a fascinating talk.
