Doorman - Global Distributed Client Side Rate Limiting

Explore Google's Doorman system for global distributed client-side rate limiting in this 26-minute conference talk from SREcon16. Learn about the problem of coordinating resource usage across globally distributed clients and how Doorman solves it. Discover the dormant protocol, understand the significance of capacity numbers, and examine the Doorman client library. Delve into global rate limiting concepts, server architecture, protocol details, and configuration options. Investigate various client behaviors including spiking clients, global capacity management, and dormant clients. Gain insights into this open-source project that enables efficient resource sharing across distributed systems.
