Techniques for managing sequencing requests for storage node operations based on types of operations being sequenced. The techniques manage sequencing requests for different types of operations, such as backup and recovery operations, replication operations, migration operations, and so on, in a manner that avoids overwhelming storage node capacity. The techniques include receiving a sequencing request for an operation of a specified operation type at a request manager of a storage node and determining whether a capacity of the storage node is available for running the operation by a capacity manager for the specified operation type, in which the capacity manager is provided by a storage client and implemented on the storage node separate from the request manager. In this way, throttling, limiting, and/or prioritization requirements of the operation of the specified operation type can be defined by the storage client in a manner agnostic to the request manager.
