Hah! Le sigh. That's hilarious. Thanks for the pointer, can't believe I missed that.

Surprised not to see an ECS shoutout yet. I'm curious what the rap is on that that makes people walk right on past the AWS default option. I've been really happy with ECS. Tons works out of the box. Last piece for me was figuring

I think this is an important point. Trying to store all of these in RAM means you can only have so many. Which is why I really like something that can use a backing store of a more cost efficient DB. Once you start thinking about what you c

fwiw TokenBuckets are very happy to separate "burst" from "refill rate". ie It's easy to give each client 10 tokens, but then have their bucket refill at 60/minute. See https://www.ratelim.it/do

agreed. I was a bit leery of diving into Lua as I was building http://ratelim.it but it really expands Redis's capabilities dramatically and was easy enough to add. My apps all write the lua into redis and store the hash wh

Can't help but put a link to https://www.ratelim.it in here. A rock solid distributed rate-limit was something I desperately missed when moving to a smaller company. Primarily I use this for idempotency and throttling thing

by jdwyah 10y ago
The trick with idempotency keys in practice is figuring out a good stable way to record and query them. So you want your endpoint to only do something once. Fine, does that mean I need a table in the DB with every key I've ever seen? T

Kinesis firehose to S3 and then query with Athena is pretty great. I've been very happy with the combo.

Forgot to add that I am super pumped about my next project here. Feature flags and rate limits. Would love to hear from anybody interested in spending less money on something like MixPanel by clever rate limiting.

IntelliJ's SQL editor is fabulous. Auto formatting and superb autocomplete, even with aliased tables and CTEs. If you don't want the full IntelliJ you can get Datagrip which is just the DB part. Can't say enough nice things a

MixPanel is nice, but its support for multiple sources of data is not very good. You can slice and dice events, but if you want to join that to your user database, things get awkward/not-possible pretty quickly. The 2nd thing is that M
