Momento has introduced a new increment API that enhances its cache capabilities, allowing for more efficient handling of distributed systems by incrementally updating values without the need to manage concurrent resource updates manually. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios requiring counters or rate limiters, such as in their game Acorn Hunt, where it simplifies tracking player scores and managing in-game resources. The API works by accepting a numeric value to adjust the current count, ensuring accuracy and minimizing errors. In addition to tracking game statistics, it also provides a streamlined solution for rate limiting compared to previous methods. The increment API is now available in Momento's Python SDK, with plans for support in other programming languages in the future.
