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.
Name | Default | Possible values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
RATE_LIMITER_DRIVER | local | local, redis, cluster | The driver used for rate limiting. |
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)
