I run 3mins.news (https://3mins.news), an AI news aggregator built entirely on Cloudflare Workers. The backend has 10+ cron triggers running every few minutes: RSS fetching, article clustering, LLM calls, email delivery. The problem: Workers Paid Plan has hard monthly limits (10M requests, 1M KV writes, 1M queue ops, etc.). There's no built-in "pause when you hit the limit", CF just starts billing overages. KV writes cost $5/M over the cap, so a retry loop bug can get expensive fast. AWS has Budget Alerts, but those are passive notifications, by the time you read the email,…

Hi HN! I built a distributed rate limiter using the token bucket algorithm with Redis backing. Key highlights: • 50,000+ requests/second throughput with <2ms P95 latency • Redis-backed distributed state for multi-instance deployments • 18 REST API endpoints for rate limiting, config, and monitoring • 265+ tests including load tests and integration tests • Docker/Kubernetes ready with comprehensive documentation Built with Java 21 + Spring Boot. Perfect for protecting APIs, microservices, or SaaS platforms from abuse. The pain point I solved: existing solutions were either too…

LimitBar▲11I use Claude Code on a Max plan, and the usage limits, like for all of us (and esp. with dedicated Fable limits now) dictate how I will plan my day/sessions. It was super goddamn annoying clicking the usage wheel (perhaps this frustration is shared with /usage in terminal or CLI but I only use the desktop app), so I built this to poll Anthropic endpoint every 60 seconds and stay in my menu bar so I can always just glance up to see where I'm at. build stuff: native Swift/AppKit, a single binary under 1 MB, no Electron or Node, negligible CPU/RAM. It reads the same usage…
