New in xyOps v1.0.95: Job Rate Limits

[jhuckaby]

Introducing Job Rate Limiting!

xyOps can now limit how quickly jobs start, independently of the existing concurrency limit.

Configure a maximum start rate per second, minute, hour, or day. Add a queue, and excess jobs will wait until rate capacity becomes available.

Common use cases include:

• Staying within external API quotas.
• Throttling database imports and exports.
• Controlling deployment or provisioning throughput.
• Processing large batches without overwhelming downstream services.
• Sharing one allowance across multiple events or workflow nodes using a Shared Capacity Key.

Rate windows are aligned to the active conductor’s server time zone. Concurrency and rate limits work together, so a job starts only when both have capacity.

The Dashboard also includes real-time Event Queue and Rate Limit Pool viewers. You can watch counters increase, see when windows expire, flush queues, and reset individual rate pools.
