During this webinar, together with Tanver Gill - CTO at FluxNinja - we will show how to ensure your microservices system works properly, based on real-life cases. We will share practical recommendations for implementing graceful degradation by using prioritized load shedding. Prioritizing which workloads or users receive resources during a degraded state ensures that critical user experiences are preserved, and services remain healthy.

Thanks to this webinar, you will learn more about:

  • The limitations of auto-scaling in microservices.
  • How poor load management can affect the microservices environment.
  • A new approach - Aperture: dynamic and adaptive concurrency limits system.

Agenda

Introduction to FluxNinja and CodiLime’s experience

At the beginning of the webinar, together with our client FluxNinja, we will tell you about the solution that will address reliability issues in microservices environments. 

Problem definition: Consequences of poor load management in microservices

Next, we will focus on the main issue - the consequences of poor load management in microservices, which often leads to cascading failures and complete system outages.

Limitations of auto-scaling in microservices

In this part, we will discuss possible existing solutions which proved to be insufficient. The first is auto-scaling - we will cover its limitations and overall impact on system performance. The second is concurrency limiting - here, we will talk about the benefits and implementation challenges.

A new approach to the problem

Finally, we will present a new solution to the problem. This is dynamic and adaptive concurrency limiting, implemented in FluxNinja Aperture. Aperture applies the Control Systems approach by expressing reliability as signal processing signals make Aperture easy to configure

Q&A
During the Q&A session, we will address any of your doubts.
