The token-bucket package provides an implementation of the
token bucket algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket>_
suitable for use in web applications for shaping or policing request
rates. This implementation does not require the use of an independent
timer thread to manage the bucket state.
Compared to other rate-limiting algorithms that use a simple counter, the token bucket algorithm provides the following advantages:
Moving window algorithms are resistant to bursting, but at the cost of additional processing and memory overhead vs. the token bucket algorithm which uses a simple, fast counter per key. The latter approach does allow for bursting, but only for a controlled duration.
