Show HN: Atrion – Deterministic traffic orchestration using physics (Node.js)Hello HN,I've been working on a new approach to traffic management that moves away from traditional circuit breakers (which are often reactive and binary) towards a deterministic physics model.Atrion treats request flow like fluid dynamics. Instead of static thresholds, it uses:- Physics-based pressure management: Calculates system stress in real-time. - Z-Score Auto-tuning: Adapts thresholds dynamically based on standard deviation of latency/error rates. - Revenue-aware shedding: Prioritizes high-value traffic during spikes rather than random drops.We just released v2 which introduces: AutoTuner Physics Integration and Adaptive Thresholds (Neuroplasticity)The core is open source. I'm looking for feedback on the mathematical approach to load shedding.Thanks.
