ThrottleX: Scalable Rate Limiting for Go APIs

Welcome to ThrottleX, a powerful and flexible rate-limiting library for Go! ThrottleX is designed to provide multiple rate limiting algorithms, easy integration, and scalable storage backends for your APIs.

For complete documentation, examples, and detailed setup instructions, please visit the ThrottleX Wiki.

Features

• Multiple Algorithms:

  • Fixed Window
  • Sliding Window
  • Token Bucket

• Pluggable Storage Backends:

  • In-Memory Store
  • Redis Store

• Thread-Safe and Efficient:

  • Designed for high concurrency and low latency.
  • Includes mutex cleanup to prevent memory leaks.

• Highly Configurable:

  • Customize limits, window sizes, and keys.
  • Support for dynamic configurations.

• Future Expansion:

  • Upcoming support for additional rate limiting policies like Leaky Bucket, Concurrency Limit, and more.

Installation

To install Throttlex, use go get:

go get -u github.com/neelp03/throttlex

For detailed setup instructions, refer to the Installation and Setup Wiki Page.

Usage

Import the package into your Go project:

import (
    "github.com/neelp03/throttlex/ratelimiter"
    "github.com/neelp03/throttlex/store"
)

For full examples of integrating ThrottleX with REST, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs, please refer to the Examples Wiki Page.

Rate Limiting Algorithms

ThrottleX currently supports the following rate limiting algorithms:

• Fixed Window Limiter
• Sliding Window Limiter
• Token Bucket Limiter
