Async Queue Remediation Report

Drain a fixed backlog of arrivals against a bounded depth and turn the remaining depth into a drain, steady, or throttle remediation action.

async_queue_remediation.js

const arrivals = 1;
const depth = 4;

function remediate(count) {
    let drained = count;
    if (drained > depth) {
        drained = depth;
    }
    const remaining = depth - drained;
    let action = "steady";
    if (drained <= 1) {
        action = "drain";
    } else if (remaining === 0) {
        action = "throttle";
    }
    console.log(`arrivals=${count} drained=${drained} remaining=${remaining} ${action}`);
}

remediate(arrivals);

backlog depth The backlog depth and arrivals are scalars, so the remaining capacity that drives the remediation action stays deterministic without draining a live async queue.
