Abstract
A method, computing device, and non-transitory machine-readable medium for managing incoming/outgoing flow through a staging area. A request to write data to an object based storage is received. A determination is made that the data is to be first staged within a transfer data structure. The transfer data structure is in a first storage tier and the object based storage is in a second storage tier. A determination is made that an amount of storage space used in the transfer data structure exceeds a start throttle threshold. In response to the determination that the amount of storage space exceeds the start throttle threshold, the request is sent into a queue selected from a set of throttling queues, wherein requests in the queue are handled in a first in, first out (FIFO) order. The request in the queue is processed based on the FIFO order and a dynamic throttle rate.
