For those who haven’t seen it yet, I’ve developed a neat plugin that  
makes it possible for your app to “throttle”.

E.g. If your site get a lot of traffic, you may want to disable  
certain features of your site or replace dynamic content with static  
stuff until your server is able to handle things again.

I’ve also put up a small how-to on how to use the throttler  
efficiently in your app:
