high throughput oltpBenefits Fromrate limiting

Source: Workload·Target: Pattern

Summary

High-throughput OLTP workloads benefit from rate limiting to prevent individual tenants or clients from consuming the entire database write capacity during traffic spikes.

Evidence

·rate_limiting applicable_when a downstream has a fixed capacity ceiling (database) and one client must not consume all capacity (patterns/rate_limiting.yaml)
·high_throughput_oltp peaks at 25k rps with 5x spikes against a single-primary write ceiling (workloads/high_throughput_oltp.yaml)

Evidence grounding

Grounded, 2 supporting items

Spiky OLTP against a single-primary write ceiling is exactly rate limiting's fixed-downstream-capacity case.
