final class Semaphore[F[_]] extends cats.effect.concurrent.Semaphore[F]
The Semaphore is an asynchronous semaphore implementation that
limits the parallelism on task execution.
The following example instantiates a semaphore with a maximum parallelism of 10:
import cats.implicits._ import cats.effect.IO // Needed for ContextShift[IO] import monix.execution.Scheduler implicit val cs = IO.contextShift(Scheduler.global) // Dummies for didactic purposes case class HttpRequest() case class HttpResponse() def makeRequest(r: HttpRequest): IO[HttpResponse] = IO(???) for { semaphore <- Semaphore[IO](provisioned = 10) tasks = for (_ <- 0 until 1000) yield { semaphore.withPermit(makeRequest(???)) } // Execute in parallel; note that due to the `semaphore` // no more than 10 tasks will be allowed to execute in parallel _ <- tasks.toList.parSequence } yield ()
Credits
Semaphore is now implementing cats.effect.Semaphore, deprecating
the old Monix TaskSemaphore.
The changes to the interface and some implementation details are inspired by the implementation in Cats-Effect, which was ported from FS2.

Returns a task that will be complete when the specified number of permits are available.
The protocol is unsafe because by the time the returned task completes, some other process might have already acquired the available permits and thus usage of
awaitAvailablecan lead to fragile concurrent logic. Use with care.Can be useful for termination logic, for example to execute a piece of logic once all available permits have been released.

Package Overview
monix.execution exposes lower level primitives for dealing with asynchronous execution:
Atomictypes, as alternative tojava.util.concurrent.atomicmonix.catnap exposes pure abstractions built on top of the Cats-Effect type classes:
monix.eval is for dealing with evaluation of results, thus exposing Task and Coeval.
monix.reactive exposes the
Observablepattern:Observableimplementationsmonix.tail exposes Iterant for purely functional pull based streaming:
BatchandBatchCursor, the alternatives to Scala'sIterableandIteratorrespectively that we are using within Iterant's encodingYou can control evaluation with type you choose - be it Task, Coeval, cats.effect.IO or your own as long as you provide correct cats-effect or cats typeclass instance.
