Coding seems cool without error checks, does not it? When if/else checks effect the next execution behaviors, then the code becomes a mess. Luckily, there is a pattern called ‘Railway Oriented Programming’ for error handling.

• group notifications to be sent in one email
  • cancel the previously queued email if another event happens within a short period (type: debounce / throttle)
• make heavy operations happen less often, i.e. refresh some global statistics
  • allow only 1 operation per certain period (type: throttle)
• protect some write api
  • additonally you can choose to use the first value in a period (keep: first)
  • or the last value in the period (keep: last)

Designed to work both on a single node and across nodes in a cluster
