A scaling-aware prioritization manager for a scalable connection-based resource receives request traffic and monitors the traffic. The manager may also monitor a connection capacity to the connection-based resource or request processing capacity of the scalable connection-based resource. The prioritization manager enables priority-based routing of new request traffic, based on a determination that the scalable connection-based resource is at or within a threshold limit of a maximum scale capacity for the scalable connection-based resource and disables the priority-based routing of new request traffic, based on a determination that the scalable connection-based resource is no longer at or within a threshold limit of the maximum scale capacity. The prioritization manager may provide an interface for customers to configure the prioritization. The prioritization manager may include an artificial intelligence component for detecting anomalies and generating or modifying priority policies.

Scaling-aware traffic request prioritization for scalable connection-based resource

Techniques implemented by a game-hosting service to place a load balancer between client devices engaged in a game session and servers that maintain state data for the game session. Rather than having a single server maintain state data and host the game session, the load balancer will broadcast action data received from the client devices to the server that is hosting the game session, or 'primary server,' and also to a redundant server that is maintaining state data for the game session, or 'secondary server.' Thus, if the primary server is unable to continue hosting the session, the secondary server may begin hosting the game session using the state data maintained for the game session. Further, by offloading the network input/output (I/O) tasks of communicating with the client devices from the server to the load balancer, the server can allocate larger amounts of resources to hosting game sessions.
