Backpressure

Backpressure is a flow-control concept that prevents producers from overwhelming consumers by regulating data rates across system boundaries. It negotiates or throttles throughput using feedback, buffering, or rejection strategies and is central to stream processing, messaging and distributed services. Designing effective backpressure requires trade-offs between throughput, latency, resource usage and complexity.
