Implement Distributed Rate Limiting Middleware for Microservices

distributed systems rate limiting redis microservices
Prompt
Design a distributed rate limiting system using Redis that can handle concurrent rate limit tracking across multiple service instances. The middleware should support per-user, per-endpoint, and global rate limits with configurable sliding window algorithms. Implement granular error responses, adaptive thresholds, and circuit breaker functionality to prevent system overload during traffic spikes.
