Token Bucket: A Rate Limiting Algorithm

We all have studied the Leaky Bucket technique while learning networking or system design. It’s one of the classic approaches used for traffic shaping and rate limiting. But in real-world distributed

Explaining Rate Limiter System Design

What is a Rate Limit ? Most API’s and websites have a rate limit to deal with fair usage, high traffic and latency issues. The number of requests you can make in an hour or in a day (technically called the “time-window”) is called as ‘rate limit’. Th...

The Token Bucket Algorithm: Keeping Traffic Flowing Without Chaos 🚦

Picture this: your API is running along smoothly, serving requests at a steady pace. Suddenly, clients starts bombarding it with thousands of requests per second. Servers are overwhelmed, legitimate users are locked out, and your carefully architecte...

API Rate Limiter - Theory

In this article, our focus will be on the API rate limiter—a crucial element within an API Gateway. To put it simply, a rate limiter restricts the number of API invocations per time unit for individual users, IPs, or APIs. Its role is to prevent abus...
