Thanks, Guillaume and Dridi — I’m not seeing a way to limit concurrent requests however. We’re using vsthrottle to limit the total number of requests to a domain — i.e. “100 requests in 10 seconds; 600 requests in 5 minutes”; but that doesn’t guard against the case of someone’s PHP script blocking (say, external API request from some wordpress plugin), and when that happens, those PHP workers pile up pretty fast. Normally, requests to the backend at the rate of something like 100 per second in total would be reasonable, but in the case of bad backend PHP code in one domain, well; it’d resource starve workers for all the domains on that backend server (shared hosting).
Perhaps this is something that’s similar enough to what vsthrottle does that I should fork it and figure out how to implement it as a counter instead?
