Go-Redis Rate Limiter

This repository contains a Golang's implementation of a rate limiter based on a Redis DB.

This implementation is based on the Redis Best Practices for rate limiting explained here.

Run the example

To run the example you must have docker installed on your machine.

Then, go to the example folder and run:

docker-compose up

Docker compose will spin up a redis instance and a gin-based webserver.

Go to your favorite browser, or do a cURL (or open postman, whatever you like) at the following URL:

http://localhost:8081/rate-limiter?name=<name>

The rate limiter is based on the name query param. You can call it with the same name for 10 times, then you have to wait 1 minute to call the endpoint again.
