final class AsyncSemaphore extends Serializable
The AsyncSemaphore is an asynchronous semaphore implementation that
limits the parallelism on Future execution.
The following example instantiates a semaphore with a maximum parallelism of 10:
val semaphore = AsyncSemaphore(maxParallelism = 10) def makeRequest(r: HttpRequest): Future[HttpResponse] = ??? // For such a task no more than 10 requests // are allowed to be executed in parallel. val future = semaphore.greenLight(() => makeRequest(???))

Returns a future that will be complete when all the currently acquired permits are released, or in other words when the activeCount is zero.
This also means that we are going to wait for the acquisition and release of all enqueued promises as well.

Returns a new future, ensuring that the given source acquires an available permit from the semaphore before it is executed.
The returned future also takes care of resource handling, releasing its permit after being complete.

This is the API documentation for the Monix library.
Package Overview
monix.execution exposes lower level primitives for dealing with asynchronous execution:
Atomictypes, as alternative tojava.util.concurrent.atomicmonix.eval is for dealing with evaluation of results, thus exposing Task and Coeval.
monix.reactive exposes the
Observablepattern:Observableimplementationsmonix.types implements type-class shims, to be translated to type-classes provided by libraries such as Cats or Scalaz.
monix.cats is the optional integration with the Cats library, providing translations for the types described in
monix.types.monix.scalaz is the optional integration with the Scalaz library, providing translations for the types described in
monix.types.
