Web3Signer is an open-source signing service capable of signing on multiple platforms (Ethereum1 and 2, Filecoin) using private keys stored in an external vault, or encrypted on a disk.
Linear scalability of response time could occur if the application begins to return errors when resources are unavailable, instead of queueing work. For example, a web server may return 503 “Service Unavailable” instead of adding requests to a queue, so that those requests that are served can be performed with a consistent response time.
Currently if web3signer is overloaded, it can bring down the whole service.
It might be a better approach to detect saturation of resources and start returning 503s so the CL can respond accordingly.
