Failing hardware or a temporary burst of requests should not cause any problems in a properly dimensioned Cassandra cluster. But sometimes external events such as product launches or public holidays can set of an avalanche of requests which may threaten your system integrity.

We will share how we used one of Cassandra's many customization points to achieve this and our experiences from that.
