1. A computer-implemented method of operating a server computing device to process data requests, the method comprising:

  • receiving a first data request from a client computing device at a first server computing device, wherein the first data request includes a second queue threshold obtained from a second server computing device, wherein the second queue threshold is indicative of a number of data requests that can be placed in a second request queue for processing by the second server computing device before the second server computing device rejects a data request;

    comparing, by the first server computing device, a first queue threshold associated with the first server computing device and the second queue threshold obtained from the second server computing device;

    determining, by the first server computing device, whether to process the first data request at the first server computing device based on the comparison of the first queue threshold and the second queue threshold; and

    managing, by the first server computing device, the first queue threshold based on the comparison of the first and second queue thresholds; and

    processing the first data request, at the first server computing device, based on the comparison of the first and second queue thresholds.
