Flow Example

In this configuration:

API requests to api.com/* are managed based on both monthly and daily quotas.
Requests are filtered by the x-lunar-consumer-tag header to differentiate between production and staging traffic, with each environment having distinct quotas.
Production traffic is prioritized over staging traffic, with production requests receiving higher priority (1) and staging traffic receiving lower priority (2).
Requests that exceed the limits or queuing capacity will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.

Flow Parameters

Parameter	Example Value	Description
`name`	`MonthlyAndDailyLimit-Prod`	The name of the flow, used to identify it in configurations.
`filter.url`	`api.com/*`	Filters API requests based on the URL pattern for which the flow applies.
`filter.header.key`	`x-lunar-consumer-tag`	The header key used to differentiate between traffic types (e.g., production, staging).
`filter.header.values`	`['production', 'staging']`	The values that the header must match to apply specific limits (i.e., production and staging).
`processors.QueueLimiter.processor`	`Queue`	Defines the processor responsible for managing the request queue and handling priorities.
`processors.QueueLimiter.parameters.key`	`quota_id`, `ttl_seconds`, `queue_size`, `priority_group_by_header`, `priority_groups`	Parameters for configuring the queue's quota, time-to-live (TTL), size, and priority logic.
`processors.LimiterProd.processor`	`Limiter`	Applies rate limiting to production traffic, using the defined quota for production.
`processors.LimiterStaging.processor`	`Limiter`	Applies rate limiting to staging traffic, using the defined quota for staging.
`processors.ProdFilter.processor`	`Filter`	Filters production traffic based on the `x-lunar-consumer-tag` header (set to `production`).
`processors.GenerateResponseTooManyRequests.processor`	`GenerateResponse`	Generates a response when the request exceeds the rate limit or the queue limit, returning an HTTP 429 response.
`flow.request.from.stream.name`	`globalStream`	The input stream where the request flow starts.
`flow.request.to.processor.name`	`QueueLimiter`, `ProdFilter`, `LimiterProd`, `GenerateResponseTooManyRequests`, etc.	The processors to which the request flow is routed, depending on whether it is blocked or allowed.
`flow.response.from.processor.name`	`GenerateResponseTooManyRequests`	Generates the response for requests that exceed limits (429 response).
`flow.response.to.stream.name`	`globalStream`	The output stream to which the response is sent.
