Advanced API Rate Limiting with Sliding Window Strategy

redis rate-limiting performance scalability
Prompt
Implement a sophisticated sliding window rate limiting mechanism for API endpoints using Redis as a distributed counter. Design a solution that provides more nuanced throttling compared to fixed window approaches, with support for per-user, per-endpoint, and global rate limits. Include precise tracking of request rates, automatic blocking, and graceful request queuing.
