Abstract: 

This talk gives an inventory and overview of the different methods for dealing with load-shedding and overload in production stacks, including an overview of the methods developed at Google and the open-source solutions.

We'll review the pros and cons, scope and effort levels of each method, and compare with existing approaches, including circuit-breakers.
