maxconcurrency
Maxconcurrency is the maximum number of operations, tasks, or requests that are allowed to execute simultaneously within a system or component. It is a resource-management parameter used to balance performance with stability, by preventing resource exhaustion, reducing contention, and providing predictable latency under load. In many systems, maxconcurrency is configured to control how much work can run in parallel.
Common implementations include fixed-size thread pools, semaphores, and worker queues that ensure only a set number
Maxconcurrency is tuned based on hardware limits (CPU cores, memory), I/O bandwidth, and workload characteristics. Setting
Examples of implementation in common ecosystems include Go's goroutine pools or semaphores, Node.js with promise queues
