Understanding Load Shedding with Quarkus

Load shedding is a crucial resilience mechanism in distributed systems that prevents system overload by rejecting excessive traffic during high-demand periods. In microservices architectures, this becomes particularly important to maintain performance and stability. Quarkus, a Kubernetes-native Java framework tailored for GraalVM and OpenJDK HotSpot, provides a reactive foundation that can be extended for load shedding. …
