Limits and backpressure

mmcgrana opened this issue · comments

Everything should have an explicit limit, even if very high, backpressure everywhere, etc.

Another option (or rather, the other side of the coin) is load-shedding, if the service allows it, and how to do it properly.

There's no such thing as an unbounded queue after all :)
