Load-regulation as a layer of defense against failure and mechanism for performance management is not a commonly used technique in modern software development. This talk will explore the application of a load-regulation framework (JOBS) to an Erlang-based datastore (Riak) and discuss the resulting performance and robustness improvements. Critically, we will also demonstrate that adding load-regulation can be done efficiently and without impacting the low-latency requirements of a datastore like Riak.
