Throttler

Throttler

The Throttler Pattern allows you to ensure that a specific endpoint does not get overloaded, or that we don't exceed an agreed SLA with some external service.

Using the Fluent Builders

So the above example will throttle messages all messages received on seda:a before being sent to mock:result ensuring that a maximum of 3 messages are sent in any 30 second window. Note that typically you would often use the default time period of a second. So to throttle requests at 100 requet per second between two endpoints it would look more like this...

from("seda:a").throttler(100).to("seda:b");

For further examples of this pattern in use you could look at the junit test case
