ratelimit

What problem does it solve?

Enforces consistent rate limits and quota management across services to prevent abuse, reduce cost from excessive requests, and protect against brute-force and DDoS attacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Atomic distributed counters via Redis Lua for accurate sliding-window or token-bucket enforcement across multiple instances.
• Tiered plans, per-endpoint overrides, burst handling, long-term quotas with warnings, and fail-open graceful degradation when shared state is unavailable.
• Use Case: Protect public API endpoints while allowing higher throughput for paid users, strict limits for auth endpoints, and unlimited internal service traffic.

Quick Start

Apply the ratelimit skill to audit and implement Redis-backed sliding-window counters and per-tier limits for the /api/* endpoints.
