Broadcast Rate Limiting

Rate limiting helps you throttle client events, backend events, or HTTP REST API calls for read endpoints (like /channels) at the app level.
Choosing a rate limiter driver depends on the architecture the server is deployed in. For local, single-instance servers, the default local driver is sufficient. For multi-node deployments, a Redis server is typically required. If you choose to use Redis to store rate limiting data, please consult our documentation on connecting to Redis.

Description
SOKETI_RATE_LIMITER_DRIVER
local
local, redis, cluster
The driver used for rate limiting.
SOKETI_RATE_LIMITER_REDIS_CLUSTER_MODE
false
false, true
Only for the redis driver. Whether the client should be initialized for Redis Cluster. You have to specify the DB_REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES value.​
local - Rate limiting data is stored in-memory and is lost upon server exit.
redis - Rate limiting data is centralized in Redis. This driver is recommended when deploying multi-node soketi configurations.
cluster - Rate limiting data is centralized within the master instance, that is elected. This driver is recommended when deploying multi-threaded soketi configurations (i.e. PM2)
