throttle across multiple processes

[jaschaio]

Any insights how I would do this if I am hitting an API from multiple node processes and thus need to limit the execution across all processes?

It's probably not the right tool for the job.

My best guess is to use a single redis key across all processes that counts the number of executions and when the limit is reached wait's for a certain time.

See https://redis.io/commands/INCR

I would also use Redis for this.
