Problem Description
Design a rate limiter for an API gateway.
Official Solution
Pick a policy (token bucket is common). Keep per-key counters in Redis with TTL, or use a fixed-window + sliding correction. Enforce at the edge (gateway) and include response headers (limit, remaining, reset). Handle bursts, distributed nodes, and clock skew.
