backpressure-flow-control

What problem does it solve?

Bounded channels, semaphores, and token buckets prevent unbounded queue growth in systems where producers outpace consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bounded channels to cap queue depth and provide backpressure
• Semaphores to limit concurrent access and protect critical sections
• Token buckets for rate-limiting producers
• Use Case: A high-throughput event processor that must not overwhelm downstream services when they slow down

Quick Start

Configure a bounded channel and a token bucket limiter to cap producer throughput.
