Ok, what to choose?
In case you don't know how your architecture should be, consult the following table and pick your use case:
Use case | Recommended Adapter / Other adapters | Recommended Rate-Limiting Driver |
|---|---|---|
Single node, one thread | Local | Local |
Single node, multiple threads (PM2) | Cluster | Cluster |
Multi-node, one thread, same Private Network | Cluster/Redis | Cluster/Redis |
Multi-node, multiple threads (PM2), same Private Network | Cluster/Redis | Cluster/Redis |
Multi-node, one thread, multi-network | Redis | Redis |
Multi-node, multiple threads (PM2), multi-network | Redis | Redis |
It's highly recommended to go for single-thread choices in multi-node architectures and scale horizontally on the instance level instead of both instances and threads.
