#hex Rate Limiting with 'bucketier' in Elixir
Rate limiting is an essential technique for protecting your application from abuse and ensuring fair usage. The bucketier
hex package provides a simple and effective way to implement rate limiting in your Elixir applications.
bucketier
is based on the token bucket algorithm, a popular method for rate limiting. It allows you to define rules for how many requests can be made in a given time period.
The package is easy to set up and configure. You can define different rate limits for different parts of your application, giving you fine-grained control over how your resources are used.
To get started with bucketier
, you can add it to your mix.exs
file and configure it in your application. The documentation on Hexdocs provides a comprehensive guide to its usage.
