Bhupesh-V / ratelimiter-demo

A Go app to demonstrate API Rate Limiting using Leaky Bucket Algorithm (WIP)

This is a sample (incomplete) implementation of the Leaky Bucket Algorithm for API Rate limiting

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ratelimiter-demo
   

2. Start the server

   go run main.go
   

Try visiting the dev server at localhost:8080 and making quick requests. Play with capacity in ratelimiter.CreateUserBucket()

TODO

• Fix support for concurrent requests
• Add benchmarks
• Better interface to choose between the 4 algorithms for rate-limiting
• Pick user-ids, tokens from env or some kind of configuration
• Interface for reading from a global distributed cache
• Interface for making requests/user count configurable
