Rate Limiting: Concepts, Algorithms, and Distributed Solutions

Rate limiting protects micro‑service stability by rejecting excess traffic, using algorithms such as fixed‑window, sliding‑window, leaky‑bucket and token‑bucket, and can be deployed locally or distributed via Redis, load‑balancers, or coordination services, each offering different trade‑offs in precision, scalability, and complexity.

Understanding Rate Limiting in Distributed Systems: Algorithms and Best Practices

Rate limiting safeguards distributed systems by controlling request rates through algorithms such as leaky bucket, token bucket, fixed and sliding windows, and back pressure, while client‑side tactics like exponential backoff, jitter, and careful retries, and requires atomic distributed storage solutions (e.g., Redis+Lua) to avoid race conditions.
