pyloadlimiter 0.1b0

Python variable-sized load limiter

Py Load Limiter

A highly configurable, feature-packed, variable-request-sized load limiter python module.

Features

• Sliding window/buckets algorithm
• Limit amount of 'load' instead of simply limiting the number of requests by allowing load-aware requests
• Use with direct apis, as context manager or as decorator
• Support for automatic retry, delay or timeout on load requests
• Automatically compute TTA (time-to-availability) to easily give clients an amount of time to wait before resubmissions
• Configurable penalties for over-max-load requests and for uncompliant clients who do not respect the required delays
• Composite load limiter to allow for complex load limiting with a single instance (eg. long-time rate limiting together with burst protection)
• Configurable window fragmentation for optimal smoothness vs performance tuning
• Pluggable and customizable storage adapters to allow for easy persistence
