Dropping requests when the server is overloaded. #381

Closed tomaszmichalak closed 6 years ago

tomaszmichalak commented 6 years ago

Knot.x responds with 503 status code if it is getting too many connections. It should only do this if your server's processor is overloaded.

Description

Knot.x should drop requests when the traffic is too big.

Motivation and Context

That solution should prevent OutOfMemoryError errors when there are too many requests. Additionally response times should be more stable in the peak.
