NOTE: This is a work in progress
Throttler is a package that implements a simple throttling algorithm based on CPU usage.
Within the throttler we define the following parameters:
- L=Limit CPU Usage
- X=CPU Usage
- R=% of allowed requests
- K=multiplier for the step difference
- S=K*(L-X) -> step to increase/decrease
- T=interval
- ST=step interval
Every ST we will collect CPU usage information and store it. After T ends we compute the average CPU usage (X) and evaluate what action is necessary:
IF X >= L-> reduce R by substracting S, rounding at 0IF X < L-> increase R by adding S, rounding at 100
A user of T will simply call t.Start so that the throttler starts collecting CPU statistics. Every request/event the user will call t.Allow to ask if the request is allowed to go through or if it needs to be throttled.
