Building a Production-Ready Rate Limiter with Spring Boot
This is a long-term Learn in Public project where I'll be designing, building, testing, and improving a complete Rate Limiter from scratch using Java and Spring Boot.
The goal is not just to make it work, but to understand how real-world backend systems protect APIs from abuse, overload, and excessive traffic.
Throughout this series we'll cover:
✅ System Design
✅ Spring Boot Development
✅ REST APIs
✅ API Gateway Concepts
✅ Rate Limiting Algorithms
✅ Fixed Window
✅ Sliding Window
✅ Token Bucket
✅ Redis-Based Rate Limiting
✅ Request Filtering
✅ Error Handling
✅ Testing
✅ Production Best Practices
Every stream documents the complete journey — from planning and architecture to implementation and real-world understanding.
Whether you're learning Java, Spring Boot, Backend Development, System Design, or preparing for Software Engineering interviews, feel free to follow along.
