Server overload occurs when a server’s resources are overwhelmed due to high traffic, insufficient capacity, or poor optimization.

Description

Server overload happens when the demand placed on a server exceeds its capacity, leading to performance degradation, slow response times, or complete system failure. Overload may be caused by excessive user traffic, large-scale data processing tasks, inefficient code, or a lack of sufficient resources (e.g., CPU, RAM, storage). When a server is overloaded, it may experience slowdowns, leading to poor user experiences and delays in accessing services or data. Preventing server overload involves scaling the server infrastructure to meet demand, optimizing applications for performance, and upgrading hardware when necessary. Load balancing and horizontal scaling (adding more servers) help distribute traffic evenly across servers to avoid overwhelming any single server. Implementing content delivery networks (CDNs) can offload traffic from origin servers, reducing the likelihood of overloads. Additionally, server monitoring tools that track resource usage (e.g., CPU, RAM, disk space) can provide early alerts, allowing IT teams to take corrective actions before the server becomes overloaded.
