Answer
It prevents data overflow by controlling the flow rate.
Backpressure allows a system to handle data at a rate it can manage, preventing overload. By letting a Subscriber ask for only what it can process, it maintains system stability. In an e-commerce scenario, backpressure ensures that a sudden surge in order processing doesn't overwhelm the system.
