Via [WayBack] Limits on Everything – The Isoblog.:
A posting at Brave New Geek about limits on everything, for example limits on message sizes and numbers of in-flight messages in message queues. Interesting read.
Very interesting read indeed: [WayBack] Take It to the Limit: Considerations for Building Reliable Systems – Brave New Geek
You have to set limits, which begs for a few questions:
- how to find out which limits and at what levels
- how to enforce these limits
Food for thought…
The first can be done with benchmarking, see for instance these from the same blogs above:
- [WayBack] Benchmark Responsibly – Brave New Geek
- [WayBack] Benchmarking Message Queue Latency – Brave New Geek
- [WayBack] Load, Load Testing and Benchmarking – The Isoblog.
Enforcing limits depends in your infrastructure and your communication stacks.
