jlucktay's Rate Limiter (jrl)

My implementation of (and small demo wrapper around) a distributed rate limiting library.

Installation

Prerequisites

You should have a working Go environment and have $GOPATH/bin in your $PATH.

Compiling

To download the source, compile, and install the demo binary, run:

go get github.com/jlucktay/rate-limit/...

The source code will be located in $GOPATH/src/github.com/jlucktay/rate-limit/.

A newly-compiled jrl binary will be in $GOPATH/bin/.

Usage

Launching the demo server:

jrl

Hitting the server from another terminal session:

$ while true; do curl --silent --include localhost:8080 | head --lines 1; done
