Std.RateLimiter.RateLimiter

type

This declaration introduces a public type.

What it does

A bucket is a value, so where it is kept decides what it limits.

Kept inside one process, a bucket limits what that process admits. Running

the same limit on four instances therefore admits four times the rate,

which is the direction that matters: a limit protecting something

downstream — an API quota, a database, a payment provider — is exceeded by

exactly the factor nobody counted.

A limit that must hold for the service as a whole is counted where the

whole service can see it. A limit that only protects one process from one

caller is correct here as it stands.

Fixed-point token bucket rate limiter with 64-bit integer arithmetic.
