Rate Limiter Project

A full-stack rate limiting system with a React frontend and Go backend that allows dynamic configuration of API rate limits.

Features

• Real-time rate limit configuration through a modern UI
• Dynamic rate limiting for different API endpoints
• Distributed rate limiting using Redis and MongoDB
• Default and custom rate limits per endpoint
• Real-time monitoring and updates
• Dark mode UI with Material-UI components

Architecture

Frontend

• Built with React and TypeScript
• Material-UI (MUI) for component styling
• Responsive design with a modern dark theme
• Real-time updates for rate limit configurations

Backend

• Go server with HTTP endpoints
• Redis for rate limit caching
• MongoDB for persistent storage
• RabbitMQ integration for message queuing
• Middleware-based rate limiting implementation

API Endpoints
