Abstract
Systems and methods are described for a storage processing service that processes multiple storage commands. The storage processing service uses tags from test storage commands to determine whether a test storage service is to be instantiated that reflects a corresponding production service. Test storage commands with the same tag are tested on that test service. Additionally, the storage processing service determines a strategy for testing processes on production services when the storage system is overloaded. In one embodiment, the test service manager can determine to stop testing processes for a period of time, and issue a shed command that queues or sheds test storage commands. Advantageously, a shed command, while active at a storage processing service, may alleviate the overload on production services. The test service manager can continue to monitor the storage system to determine whether the overload continues to exist.
