Implement Distributed Rate Limiting with Redis Cluster

rate-limiting redis microservices distributed systems
Prompt
Design a distributed rate limiting middleware for a Node.js microservice architecture using Redis Cluster. Create a solution that tracks API request rates across multiple server instances, supports configurable rate limits per endpoint, and provides granular blocking with sliding window algorithm. Include error handling for Redis connection failures and a mechanism to gracefully degrade rate limiting if the Redis cluster becomes unavailable.
