More Information
Summary:Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and apparatus for managing back end problems at a server. Resources at a server may become unavailable for several reasons, for example, due to heavy traffic accessing the resource, errors while running applications, accessing databases, and the like. When requests for accessing such unavailable resources are received, the requests may be immediately failed upon receipt, thereby preventing the server from becoming bogged down with the processing of requests known to access the unavailable resource. Requests associated with available resources may be processed normally. Therefore, by preventing a server from processing requests associated with a known unavailable resource, server performance may be improved.
