  2 762 0.0 Go

  Rate limiting for go-redis

  

Project mention: Goralim – A rate limiting package for Go to handle distributed workloads | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02

Fun weekend project but definitely not production-ready (no tests, no error handling, etc.). If readers are looking for something production-ready to use, consider https://github.com/go-redis/redis_rate (which implements GCRA/leaky bucket), or https://github.com/ulule/limiter (which uses a much simpler algorithm, but has good middleware).

• nuxt-security

  6 705 9.5 TypeScript

  🛡 Automatically configure your app to follow OWASP security patterns and principles by using HTTP Headers and Middleware

Project mention: How Nuxi helps Nuxt deliver great DX? | dev.to | 2024-04-08

The command nuxi module add allows you to skip the second step in the list. So for modules like Nuxt Security right now, you only need to run the first step and nuxi will automatically register the module so that you can get started with the module right away.

• hammer

  2 702 6.9 Elixir

  An Elixir rate-limiter with pluggable backends

  

Project mention: Implementing Natural Conversational Agents with Elixir | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

The scaling story in Elixir is so nice, I just implemented eventual consistency for calculating average ratings on a Class/Instructor level and it was 20 lines of code in a GenServer that can be tested and is super clear how it works. I'm not even sure how you'd do something like this in Javascript or Python but it would probably involve extra infrastructure that is another moving piece to deploy, manage and can cause failures. The same is true with rate limiting and something like Hammer (https://github.com/ExHammer/hammer).
