Backpressure: The Missing Piece in Every Async Pipeline

Async pipelines without backpressure are just expensive garbage collectors waiting to explode your heap. What We're Building We are constructing a robust production-grade Rust async pipeline designed for high-throughput data ingestion scenarios. Imagine a microservice architecture where a slow database query feeds data into a fast, high-throughput network endpoint, such as an API or a gRPC service. Without intervention, the producer (database) will fire as fast as possible, while t
