Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Cost Optimization > COST 09. How do you manage demand, and supply resources? > Implement a buffer or throttle to manage demand

Buffering and throttling modify the demand on your workload, smoothing out any peaks. Implement throttling when your clients perform retries.Implement buffering to store the request and defer processing until a later time. Ensure your throttles and buffers are designed so clients receive a response in the required time.

See Implement a buffer or throttle to manage demand for more information.
