Implement Robust Typed API Rate Limiting Middleware

middleware rate-limiting type-safety distributed-systems
Prompt
Design a type-safe rate limiting middleware for a distributed API using TypeScript that supports multiple strategies: fixed window, sliding window, and token bucket algorithms. Create generic type definitions that allow configuration of max requests, time window, and dynamic scaling. The solution should integrate seamlessly with Express or Nest.js, provide detailed TypeScript interfaces for configuration, and include comprehensive error handling with discriminated unions for different rate limit scenarios.
