Overload Protection is a Node.js module that provides load detection and shedding capabilities for HTTP servers using frameworks like Express, Restify, Koa, and the core HTTP module. It monitors metrics such as event loop delay, used heap memory, and resident set size, and responds with HTTP 503 Service Unavailable when thresholds are exceeded, helping to prevent server overload. It is designed for developers building high-performance web applications who need to protect their servers from excessive load.
