func NewLocalRatelimit

func NewLocalRatelimit() filters.Spec

NewLocalRatelimit creates a local measured rate limiting, that is only aware of itself. If you have 5 instances with 20 req/s, then it would allow 100 req/s to the backend. A third argument can be used to set which part of the request should be used to find the same user. Third argument defaults to XForwardedForLookuper, meaning X-Forwarded-For Header.

Example:

backendHealthcheck: Path("/healthcheck")
-> localRatelimit(20, "1m")
-> "https://foo.backend.net";

Example rate limit per Authorization Header:

login: Path("/login")
-> localRatelimit(3, "1m", "auth")
-> "https://login.backend.net";
