## Installation

```

## Usage

### Standalone

The pressure monitor is a class that can be used anywhere:

import { PressureMonitor } from '@directus/pressure';

const monitor = new PressureMonitor({
	maxEventLoopUtilization: 0.8,
});

monitor.overloaded; // true | false
```

### Express

The library also exports an express middleware that can be used to throw an Error when the pressure monitor reports
overloaded:

```js
import express from 'express';
import { handlePressure } from '@directus/pressure';

const app = express();

app.use(
	handlePressure({
		maxEventLoopUtilization: 0.8,
	}),
);
```
