ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sōzu

Sōzu is a tool that helps your computer talk to different websites and apps. It's like a traffic cop who helps cars and people safely cross the street.

When you’re on the internet, your computer sends and receives information using special codes called "requests" and "responses." Sometimes, too many requests come in at once, which can cause your computer to slow down or even crash.

Sōzu helps manage these requests and responses to make sure they’re coming in at a safe and manageable pace. It keeps everything organized and makes sure that all the websites and apps you want to use are functioning properly.

So, in simple terms, Sōzu is a helpful tool that prevents your computer from getting overwhelmed when it talks to different websites and apps.
