Rate Limiting Algorithms: A Deep Dive
Introduction Rate limiting is a crucial mechanism in modern software systems, ensuring fair resource distribution, preventing abuse, and protecting against denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. It is widely used in APIs, web applications, and distributed systems to regulate the number of requests processed within a given time frame. This blog provides a detailed explanation of different rate-limiting algorithms, their advantages and disadvantages, and step-by-step implementations in Java. Additionally, it covers best practices, real-world use cases, and an interview guide to help you master the topic.
