Load Shedding Strategy

Design load shedding strategies with priority queuing, admission control, and graceful rejection to maintain service quality under overload.

Runtime Dependency Management

Design runtime dependency management with health monitoring, circuit breaking, fallback chains, and dependency scorecards.

Multi-Region Resilience

Design multi-region architectures with data replication, traffic routing, consistency trade-offs, and regional failover strategies.
