Noisy Neighbor
A classic anti-pattern in multi-tenant architectures in which a sudden load spike from one tenant exhausts shared resources, degrading service quality for other tenants.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The "noisy neighbor" problem in multi-tenant architectures refers to a burst of load from one tenant exhausting shared resources and degrading service quality for other tenants; simply adding servers cannot solve this problem.
Common ways to mitigate the noisy neighbor problem include: setting rate limits and quotas per tenant, using separate queues with limited concurrency for background batch tasks, setting resource groups or statement timeouts at the database layer (such as PostgreSQL's statement_timeout), and migrating high-value tenants to dedicated instances.
