Distributed Rate Limiter – 50K+ RPS, Redis-Backed, Production-Ready

What it does

High-performance distributed rate limiter service with Redis backend. Supports token bucket and sliding window algorithms, dynamic configuration, and real-time metrics. Built for microservices architectures. - uppnrise/distributed-rate-limiter

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! I built a distributed rate limiter using the token bucket algorithm with Redis backing. Key highlights: • 50,000+ requests&#x2F;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…

  Run globally distributed full-stack apps on high-performance MicroVMs2023 · koyeb.com · ▲98

  Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.koyeb.com&#x2F;). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  The site hit #1 on HN about a year ago. Got enough traffic that I turned it into a proper API. What's there: - REST API — 35k products, manually filterable by category, free key, 60 req&#x2F;min - CLI — npx anycrap random -c food - faker.js plugin — bundled, no API call, works offline - HuggingFace dataset — full 35k rows for ML&#x2F;training https:&#x2F;&#x2F;anycrap.shop&#x2F;developers

  Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal▲1,094

  I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input&#x2F;output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

  I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio▲1,032

  Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
