Back pressure

Back pressure (or backpressure) is the term for a resistance to the desired flow of fluid through pipes. Obstructions or tight bends create backpressure via friction loss and pressure drop.^[1]

In distributed systems in particular event driven architecture, back pressure is a technique to regulate flow of data, ensuring that components do not become overwhelmed. ^[2]
