Question: What is the concept of Load-Shedding ?

Question: What are the factors, based upon which we can be performing the Load-Shedding ?

Question: Share with an example, what would happen with all the dropped requests, while we are doing the Load-Shedding ?

Question: Demonstrate the step by step example to implement the Load-Shedding with Spring Boot based Microservice ?

Step #2.) Secondly, the controller looks like this :-

Step #3.) Next, we would write the code for our FILTER as below :-

Step #4.) Now that we run our application :-
