## Explanation
Real world example
Real-world example
> A large multinational corporation offers API to its customers. The API is rate-limited and each
> customer can only make certain amount of calls per second.
> A young human and an old dwarf walk into a bar. They start ordering beers from the bartender.
> The bartender immediately sees that the young human shouldn't consume too many drinks too fast
> and refuses to serve if enough time has not passed. For the old dwarf, the serving rate can
> be higher.

**Programmatic Example**
Tenant class presents the clients of the API. CallsCount tracks the number of API calls per tenant.
`BarCustomer` class presents the clients of the `Bartender` API. `CallsCount` tracks the number of
calls per `BarCustomer`.
```java
public class Tenant {

Next we introduce the service that the tenants are calling. To track the call count we use the
throttler timer.

second and Nike to 6.
Now it is possible to see the full example in action. `BarCustomer` young human is rate-limited to 2
calls per second and the old dwarf to 4.

The Throttling pattern should be used:
* When a service access needs to be restricted to not have high impacts on the performance of the service.
* When service access needs to be restricted not to have high impact on the performance of the service.
* When multiple clients are consuming the same service resources and restriction has to be made according to the usage per client.
