POC: fair queue, priority aware logic
Fair Queue Implementation with Priority-Based Email Processing
Implements a fair queuing system for email processing with priority levels and abuse detection:
Key Features:
- Priority Levels: HIGH (2), NORMAL (1), LOW (0), THROTTLED (-1)
- Fair Distribution: Domain and user-based fair queuing to prevent monopolization
- Adaptive Limits: Queue health monitoring with dynamic priority adjustments
- Abuse Detection: Automatic throttling based on bounce/reject rates and volume spikes
- Schema Updates: Added priority, abuse_score, and throttled_until fields
Components:
- Queue health calculation with adaptive multipliers
- Domain/user fair distribution algorithms
- Abuse score calculation and throttling logic
- Migration script for existing emails
- Enhanced monitoring and alerting
Benefits:
- Prevents single domains/users from monopolizing the queue
- Prioritizes premium users and good reputation senders
- Automatically throttles suspicious activity
- Maintains queue fairness under varying load conditions
Haven't had time yet to look at this but this POC looks promising at a glance.
