Handling overloads in distributed systems

Rubtsov Dmitry Victorovich

This article is devoted to the study of various method of overload handling. Method of request retry is widely used in modern distributed systems to maintain high availability, due to the increase of network interaction between different components of systems. However, if system is overloaded, this method can lead to a complete failure of entire system. The articles discusses various methods and algorithms that allow systems to handle load spikes staying highly available.

Keywords:distributed systems, handling overloads, microservice architecture, highly available systems.
