A resource consumption control method and system. The method includes deploying by a computing system, a portlet/servlet. The computing system receives monitor data associated with a first resource consumed by the first portlet/servlet during the deploying. The monitor data comprises a maximum resource consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet and a mean resource consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet. The computing system generates a resource consumption rate limit value for the first portlet/servlet based on the monitor data. The computing system generates action data comprising an action to be executed if the resource consumption rate limit value is exceeded by a consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet. The computing system transmits the resource consumption rate limit value and the action data to the portlet/servlet. The resource consumption rate limit value and the action data are stored with the portlet/servlet.
