Interesting. For two reasons. In the many years that I developed software this was known as the producer/consumer problem [1]. A name that is somewhat (to me) more expressive than back-pressure. But that's just my opinion!
What's different now, as the article points out, is the growth of micro-service architectures. Effectively creating a lot of tiny producer/consumer problems across the solution space.
Sometimes, I'm glad I don't write code anymore, but only sometimes :-)
