- lnanek2 14y agoHigh load can take out entire clusters. Imagine if a change was pushing to NetFlix that slowed it down 20%, the requests would queue up to the point where everything fell over.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoThat calls for shedding load as triage. If you're beyond capacity, it's better (less bad, anyway) for 20% of requests to fail quickly than to actually attempt them if that will prevent you from completing the other 80%.
