Usage

Basic Redis Configuration Example

public class RateLimitApplication extends Application<Configuration> {

    public void initialize(Bootstrap<Configuration> bootstrap) {
        RedisClient redisClient = RedisClient.create("redis://localhost");
        RateLimiterFactory factory = new RedisRateLimiterFactory(redisClient);

        bootstrap.addBundle(new RateLimitBundle(factory));
    }
}

Basic InMemory Configuration Example

public class RateLimitApplication extends Application<Configuration> {

    public void initialize(Bootstrap<Configuration> bootstrap) {
        RateLimiterFactor factory = new InMemoryRateLimiterFactory();

        bootstrap.addBundle(new RateLimitBundle(factory));
    }
}

Dropwizard Authenticated User Usage Example

@Path("/user")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class UserResource {

    @GET
    @Path("/{id}")
    @RateLimited(key = Key.AUTHENTICATED, rates = {@Rate(duration = 10, timeUnit = TimeUnit.HOURS, limit = 10)})
    public Response getLimitedByAuthenticatedUser(@Auth PrincipalImpl principle, @PathParam("id") final Integer id) {
        return Response.ok().build();
    }
}

Dark Launch

When introducing rate limiters to a production environment it can be helpful to first evaluate request patterns to avoid over limiting. To disable enforcement include the 'reportOnly = true' on the @RateLimit annotation.

    @POST
    @RateLimited(
            reportOnly = true,
            key = Key.DEFAULT, 
            rates = { @Rate(duration = 10, timeUnit = TimeUnit.HOURS, limit = 5) })
