Distributed Rate Limiting Across Microservices

microservices rate-limiting redis distributed-systems
Prompt
Architect a distributed rate limiting solution for PHP microservices using Redis as a centralized counter, with support for sliding window algorithms and per-client quota management. Implement a flexible system that can handle complex rate limit rules, including burst allowances, differentiated limits based on user roles, and real-time tracking of API consumption across multiple service instances.
