Here’s the translation of the Go rate limiting example to Java, presented in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:
Rate limiting is an important mechanism for controlling resource utilization and maintaining quality of service. Java supports rate limiting through various mechanisms, including ScheduledExecutorService and third-party libraries.
First, we’ll look at basic rate limiting. Suppose we want to limit our handling of incoming requests. We’ll serve these requests from a queue.
Running our program, we see the first batch of requests handled once every ~200 milliseconds as desired.
For the second batch of requests, we serve the first 3 immediately because of the burstable rate limiting, then serve the remaining 2 with ~200ms delays each.
This Java implementation uses ScheduledExecutorService to simulate the ticker behavior, and a Semaphore to implement the bursty limiter. The overall structure and behavior are similar to the original example, adapted to Java’s concurrency utilities.
