- Thundering Herd
- In computer systems — its original setting — many threads blocked on one event wake together and contend for a single mutex or backend; variants include cache stampede on expiry, alarm storm when many monitors trip a threshold at once, reconnect storm after a partition heals, and deploy storm when many clients pull a new artifact simultaneously.
This sourceDocuments cache stampede on hot-key expiry and mitigations such as leases/request coalescing that collapse the synchronized burst to a single fetch.
