a year ago

Introducing Buflux, a lightweight and high-performance buffer library for managing fixed-capacity data. Designed for Node.js and modern browsers, Buflux is perfect for high-throughput systems like task queues, rate limiting and in-memory caching.

Key features: - Fixed-Capacity Buffers: Manage data efficiently with defined limits. - Overflow Strategies: Choose between REJECT (block when full) and EVICT (auto-remove oldest items). - Event-Driven Design: React to enqueue, dequeue, overflow, and reject events. - Zero Dependencies: Fast, simple, and lightweight (~15kB unpacked).

Ideal for task queues, rate limiting, caching and data streams.
