Advantages of Bucket4j

  • Implemented on top of ideas of well known algorithm, which are by de-facto standard for rate limiting in the IT industry.
  • Effective lock-free implementation, Bucket4j is good scalable for multi-threading case.
  • Absolutely non-compromise precision, Bucket4j does not operate with floats or doubles, all calculation are performed in the integer arithmetic, this feature protects end users from calculation errors involved by rounding.
  • Ability to switch from one JVM to cluster in two lines of code. Using Bucket4j you are able to limiting something in the cluster of JVMs. Since release 1.2 the Bucket4j supports any GRID solution which compatible with JCache API (JSR 107) specification. Just use your favorite grid including Hazelcast, Ignite, Coherence, Infinispan or any other.
  • Ability to specify multiple bandwidths per bucket. For example you can limit 1000 events per hours but not often then 100 events per minute.
  • Both synchronous and asynchronous API.
  • Pluggable listener API that allows to implement monitoring and logging.
  • Ability to use bucket as a scheduler, see examples.

Supported back-ends

As mentioned above in addition to local in-memory buckets, the Bucket4j supports clustered usage scenario on top of following back-ends:

Back-end Documentation page Async supported Optimized serialization
JCache API (JSR 107) bucket4j-jcache No No
Hazelcast bucket4j-hazelcast Yes Yes
Apache Ignite bucket4j-ignite Yes n/a
Inifinispan bucket4j-infinspan Yes Yes
Oracle Coherence bucket4j-coherence Yes Yes

General documentation

Basics:

Examples:

Production checklist

  • Common production checklist - Mandatory points that need to be understood before using the Bucket4j in production, independently of local or clustered usage scenarios.
  • JCache production checklist - Mandatory points that need to be understood before using the Bucket4j over JCache cluster.
