Implement Distributed Rate Limiting for API Gateway

microservices rate-limiting redis api-security
Prompt
Design a distributed rate limiting middleware for a Laravel microservices architecture using Redis as the shared storage backend. Create a solution that can handle concurrent requests across multiple server instances, with configurable rate limits per API endpoint, user role, and IP address. Include mechanisms for tracking request counts, implementing sliding window rate limiting, and providing graceful degradation when limits are exceeded.
