The thundering herd problem is a performance-degrading phenomenon in computer science and computer networking that occurs when a large number of processes or threads are simultaneously awakened, typically in response to a specific event or the availability of a resource. However, only one process is able to respond to the event or access the new resource, causing most other processes to fail and go back to sleep.
