Restrict running code in Lumen route to one caller at a time - peesweeps551079 - 08-06-2023
I'm making a small application with Lumen that has a route that is expensive to run. I'd like to make sure that only one person can hit this route at a time. If a second person tries to hit the route while another person is running it, then the application should return a message saying something like "Please try again in a few minutes." How can I accomplish this?

Use a mutex. If your app runs on a single host with a local filesystem, you can use flock:
public function my_controller() {
$fp = fopen('lockfile', 'r');
if (! flock($fp)) die('Try again later');
// do expensive thing...
funlock($fp);
fclose($fp);
}
If you have a cluster of machines, or the machine's disk are network mounted, use a database mutex. Eg, in mysql:
`do get_lock('lock');`
