This repository proposes an implementation of a distributed rate limiter written in Rust, and a REST API project example using the same rate limiter library to limit the number of incoming requests based on the caller's IP address.
It is a demo project that helped me writing this blog post.
There are 2 main directories:
- rate-limiter-rs: the rate limiter library, that offers both a fixed window and a sliding window implementations;
- carbon-intensity-api: a sample project exposing a REST API, that uses the above mentioned rate limiter component.
