💡 ARTICLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: "Protect public API endpoints from DDoS attacks and scraping bots using distributed Redis sliding window log rate limiters with sub-millisecond execution overhead."
1. Sliding Window Log Algorithm
Sliding window rate limiters stored in Redis ZSETs accurately enforce request quotas (e.g. 100 requests per minute per IP address) without edge-of-window bursting vulnerabilities.
