It's like thrashing for memory. Once you can't keep up with requests it's extra strain which inevitably will bring down the system.

- MaxBarraclough 6y agoWith respect, that's a metaphor, not an answer. Why shouldn't the system be able to just drop incoming requests until it's able to handle them? That's what routers do.
- Beltiras 6y agoI've never had to think about this. Always had the option of just opening up more capacity. My choice for application server (uWSGI) doesn't have easily found configurations for dropping connections on high load. Lots of documentation on fallbacks but no pre-emptive dropping (that I can find).
