Sliding Window Counter Rate Limiter (Redis & Java)

Описание: Managing API traffic can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be! In this video, we’ll dive into the Sliding Window Counter algorithm, the most efficient approach for handling rate limiting with Redis. Join ‪@RaphaelDeLio‬ as he breaks down how the algorithm works, why Redis is the perfect tool for implementing rate limiting, and how to build it step by step in Java.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
How the Sliding Window Counter algorithm works.
Building and testing a Java implementation with Jedis.
Scenarios to validate behavior.
