Berater

Gem codecov

All systems have limits, beyond which they tend to fail. Berater makes working within limits easy and the inevitable failures more graceful.

require 'berater'
require 'redis'

Berater.configure do |c|
  c.redis = Redis.new
end

Berater(:key, 3) do
  # allow only three simultaneous requests at a time, with a concurrency limiter
end

Berater(:key, 2, interval: 60) do
  # or do work twice per minute with a rate limiter
end

See documentation for details.
