Balancing Systems Load and Processing Jobs Efficiently
A system with high CPU usage due to increased traffic experienced a slowdown in processing jobs, with new jobs still arriving at the regular rate. This led to a challenging situation where the system needed to scale either vertically or horizontally, or consider rate limiting or pausing incoming jobs to handle the existing workload efficiently. In another project called Crawl Hints, signals from internet traffic were utilized to update search indexes efficiently, eliminating the need for multiple web crawlers. This approach optimized resource utilization and improved the process of updating search engine indexes.
