  • Publication number: 20210055959
    Abstract: A controller provides dynamic load distribution in a multi-tier distributed platform. The controller may receive a request at a first Point-of-Presence (“PoP”) with a first set of resources. The first PoP may be part of a distributed platform with several distributed PoPs at different network locations. The controller may classify the requested task with a priority, may determine resource availability, and may dynamically distribute the request by (i) providing the request to the first set of resources in response to classifying the task with a high first priority, and determining the availability of the first set of resources to be less than a threshold, and (ii) providing the request to a second PoP in response to classifying the task with a lower second priority, and determining the availability of the first set of resources to be less than the threshold.
