Allocation and management of computing platform resources

A computing platform that provides computing resources to a plurality of sites that are accessed by a plurality of users and that manages access by the sites to a first service, the computing platform comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable memory storing instructions for execution by the processor which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• determine that the first service is not meeting at least one performance metric;
• in response to determining that the first service is not meeting the at least one performance metric, determine whether the first service is thread-limited by the platform;
• where the first service is not thread-limited by the platform:
• set a limit on the number of threads available for calls to the first service by sites on the platform;
• monitor performance of the service after setting the limit on the number of threads available for calls to the first service by sites on the platform and, based upon the performance of the service after setting the limit on the number of threads, change the limit on the number of threads available for calls to the first service by sites on the platform;
• and
• where the first service is thread-limited by the platform:
• change the limit on the number of threads available for calls to the first service.
