Falcon Limiter

Advanced concurrency control and resource limiting for Falcon web server, built on top of async-limiter.

This gem provides sophisticated concurrency management for Falcon applications by:

• Connection Limiting: Control the number of concurrent connections to prevent server overload.
• Long Task Management: Handle I/O vs CPU bound workloads effectively by releasing resources during long operations.
• Priority-based Resource Allocation: Higher priority tasks get preferential access to limited resources.
• Automatic Resource Cleanup: Ensures proper resource release even when exceptions occur.
• Built-in Statistics: Monitor resource utilization and contention.

Please see the project documentation for more details.

• Getting Started - This guide explains how to get started with falcon-limiter for advanced concurrency control and resource limiting in Falcon web applications.

• Long Tasks - This guide explains how to use Falcon::Limiter::LongTask to effectively manage I/O vs CPU bound workloads in your Falcon applications.

Please see the project releases for all releases.
