SHARQ Server

SHARQ Server is an flexible, rate limited queuing system based on the SHARQ Core library and Redis.

Overview

SHARQ Server is a flexible, open source, rate limited queuing system. Based on the Leaky Bucket Algorithm, SHARQ lets you create queues dynamically and update their rate limits in real time.

SHARQ consists of two components - the core component and the server component. The SHARQ core is built on Redis, using Python and Lua, and the SHARQ Server is built using Flask and Gevent and talks HTTP.

Installation

SHARQ Server can be installed using pip as follows:

pip install sharqserver

Running the server

SHARQ server can be started with the following command. A simple SHARQ config file can be found here.

$sharq-server --config sharq.conf

Ensure the SHARQ server is up by making a HTTP request.

$curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/
{
  "message": "Hello, SharQ!"
}
