Adaptive Load Balancing and Flow Control

The flexible services discussed in this article mainly refer to the functions of load balancing on the consumer side and traffic limiting on the provider side. In previous versions of Dubbo, the load balancing focused more on fairness, meaning that the consumer would choose equally from the providers, which didn’t perform ideally in some cases. The traffic limiting only provided static schemes, requiring users to set a static maximum concurrency value on the provider, which was not easy for users to determine. We made improvements to address these issues.
