Implement Distributed Rate Limiting for API Microservices

microservices rate-limiting redis api-design performance
Prompt
Design a distributed rate limiting middleware for a Laravel microservices architecture using Redis as a shared storage backend. The solution must handle concurrent requests across multiple server instances, support dynamic rate limit configuration per API endpoint, and provide granular tracking of request quotas. Include error handling for rate limit exceeded scenarios, with configurable backoff strategies and detailed logging for monitoring and debugging.
