Description: Overcommit refers to the practice of assigning more resources than are available in a system, which can lead to inefficient performance or even system failures. In the context of technology, this can manifest in various areas, such as databases, automation systems, and resource management. For example, overcommit can occur when trying to handle more simultaneous connections than the system can support, resulting in slower response times or connection errors. In the realm of automation, overcommit may involve executing multiple tasks that exceed the hardware’s capacity, causing bottlenecks in processing. Overall, overcommit is a critical concept that must be carefully managed to ensure optimal performance and system stability.
