Implement Distributed Rate Limiting for Microservices

microservices rate-limiting redis distributed-systems
Prompt
Design a distributed rate limiting system using Redis that can handle concurrent API request throttling across multiple service instances. Create a solution that supports per-user, per-endpoint, and global rate limits with configurable sliding window algorithms. Implement atomic operations to ensure precise limit tracking, with support for different rate limit strategies (fixed window, sliding window, token bucket). Include comprehensive error handling and provide a mechanism for graceful request queuing when limits are exceeded.
