Load Shedding vs Queueing

Compared to unbounded queueing, load shedding is preferable under overload because it:
Options
  1. 1Increases the throughput of all requests by draining every queue quickly
  2. 2Guarantees that every request eventually succeeds by queueing it until capacity returns
  3. 3Removes the need for any capacity planning since shedding absorbs all demand
  4. 4Rejects excess work early to keep latency bounded and useful work flowing
