# Relabuf - smart buffer with release valve
- consumes items from external `future`
- buffers internally up to `hard_cap`
- when `hard_cap` is reached no longer consumes causing producer to backoff and slowdown
- capable of releasing contents ONLY under certain conditions
- a `release_after` has passed since the latest successful content release(or since start) and buffer is not empty
- a `soft_cap` of items were added
- each consumption should be either `confirmed` or `returned` to the buffer
- returns usually happen due to error(for example DB is down) - so it's possible to configure a backoff
- backoff essentially overrides time release valve
- exposes released items via a `future` user can `await` on
