tarpit

tarpit actions based on a key

tarpit is a package that allows you to exponentially stall responses based on the frequency of a keyed request. for example, if a specific IP requests an endpoint too frequently, you can use tarpit to stall the handler sending a response back, until the rate of request is reduced.

installation

npm install tarpit --save

usage
