goralim is a Golang package that provides a rate limiter based on Token bucket algorithm. It is capable to handle distributed workload with its redis database support. It has HTTP server middleware support (as of now).
🚧 this is a beta version now and under active development. For production use, fork it and make changes based on your need.
go get "github.com/0verread/goralim" -m
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
goralim "github.com/0verread/goralim"
)
func main() {
// Redis initialization
config := goralim.RedisConfig{
HOST: "127.0.0.1",
PORT: 6379,
// password
PASS: "",
}
redisStore := goralim.NewRedisClient(config)
// setup rate limiter for a key (key can be userId/client)
// 10 is bucket size, 5 is bucket refill rate per second
tb := goralim.NewTokenBucket("key123", redisStore, 10, 5)
// create HTTP server and setup a goralim middleware to put a rate limiter
handler := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintln(w, "Hey There this is a Request")
})
rateLimitedHandler := goralim.RateLimiter(tb, handler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", rateLimitedHandler)
}
feel free to create pull requests for the bugs and/or features. additionally, you can start working on any open issues that i've created. those are the priorities for next stable prod ready release. make sure you write and/or modify the test cases. thank you.
