Redis Rate Limiter

A simple Node.js API with Redis-based rate limiting.

Features

• Limits requests to 10 per minute per IP.
• Uses Redis for fast, expiring counters.
• Runs in Docker for easy setup.

Setup

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/thekubera/redis-rate-limiter
2. Run: docker compose up --build
3. Test: curl http://localhost:3000/hello

Testing

Run ./test.sh to simulate 15 requests:

• First 10 return "Hello, world!"
• Next 5 return "Too many requests, try again later!"

Note: Make the script executable first, if not: chmod +x test.sh
