@swannodette@francescoc Misunderstood my claim: Didn't say "magically", said "w/o fixed-size queues in the primitive mechanism".1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@swannodette@francescoc Of course, I sometimes want flow control, but not based on static queue-size limit.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sperbsen@swannodette@francescoc There are 3 states of a queue: empty, full or standing. Load invokes transitions between them.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sperbsen@swannodette@francescoc In practice, you need to worry about the overload (i.e., full) situation.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@sperbsen@swannodette@francescoc We have tools for this (uwiger/jobs, jlouis/safetyvalve) but most queues doen’t need this.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@jlouis666@swannodette@francescoc uwiger/jobs exactly the kind of thing I'd want, *not* static size limit on indvidual queues. Thx!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sperbsen@jlouis666@francescoc ah, you just want the queue size to be computed on your behalf based on more meaningful parameters.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@swannodette@jlouis666@francescoc Right. Also: dynamically. And sometimes, *really* want unbounded queues.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sperbsen@swannodette@francescoc Yep, keep queues unbounded in the middle of the application. Limit in the border when accepting service.1 reply 4 retweets 6 likes
@jlouis666 @sperbsen @swannodette +1 on this one
