Describe your feature request
While thinking some more about cases where servers get stuck on external resources like #1796, I realized that you don't necessarily need a connection pool to limit access, some kind of semaphore would be enough.
Not sure how this would look like exactly, maybe something like this:
frankenphp_guard (
key: 'slow-api-request',
block_count: 10, # block on more than 10 parallel requests
reject_count: 20, # throw on more than 20
callback: function(){
# slow IO to external API
}
);
Doing this with files/apcu is actually pretty hard, mainly due to fatal errors and resulting deadlocks.
It would be easy to do on the FrankenPHP since we have full control over all threads.
