- The 'noisy neighbor' problem in multi-tenant systems occurs when one tenant monopolizes resources, starving others.
- Traditional FIFO queues fail to address fairness, leading to operational inefficiencies and customer dissatisfaction.
- Common solutions like throttling clients or dedicated worker queues introduce complexity and inefficiency.
- Fair queuing ensures all customers get equitable access to resources by rotating service between clients.
- Broccoli implements fair queuing with dedicated client queues and a round-robin scheduler for self-balancing.
- Broccoli's design is simple, reliable, and easy to debug, making it ideal for critical infrastructure.
- The project has gained significant traction with 15,000+ downloads and 400+ GitHub stars.
