Defined in:

Overview

This class implements an 'exclusive lease'. We call it a 'lease' because it has a set expiry time. We call it 'exclusive' because only one caller may obtain a lease for a given key at a time. The implementation is intended to work across GitLab processes and across servers. It is a cheap alternative to using SQL queries and updates: you do not need to change the SQL schema to start using ExclusiveLease.

.throttle(key, group: nil, period: 1.hour, count: 1, &block) ⇒ Object

yield to the block at most count times per period

Defaults to once per hour.

For example:

# toot the train horn at most every 20min:
throttle(locomotive.id, count: 3, period: 1.hour) { toot_train_horn }
# Brake suddenly at most once every minute:
throttle(locomotive.id, period: 1.minute) { brake_suddenly }
# Specify a uniqueness group:
throttle(locomotive.id, group: :locomotive_brake) { brake_suddenly }

If a group is not specified, each block will get a separate group to itself.

  end
end
