Shared resources can be isolated such that abuse of the resource by one user does not significantly affect the use of that resource by another user. A combination of access and flow control can be used, wherein a control gateway or other such component sits along a path between the user and the resource, such that the user obtains connections or access to the resource through the gateway. In this way, the gateway can control aspects such as the number of concurrent threads or channels granted to a user, as well as any delay in providing these threads or channels to the resource. A closed feedback loop can provide real-time information such that adjustments can be made dynamically, preventing abuse by users while also preventing the resource allocations from being underutilized.
