> Frankly, your load shedding or back pressure system is probably implemented on a queue one layer down the abstraction. If you're building an API, you don't care how your clients cope with your backpressure. You just want to avoid overloading your services, and queues will indeed not help you with that past a certain point, whereas backpressure probably will. Or at least you can scale backpressure much more cheaply than you can scale queues.
