Limitd – simple daemon for rate limiting HA applications

In plain words

Limitd is a rate-limiting daemon designed for high-availability applications. It provides a simple, centralized way to enforce rate limits across distributed systems. The tool is intended for developers building scalable applications that need to control request flow and prevent overload. Its straightforward approach to rate limiting makes it suitable for teams managing multiple services or APIs.

  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 including load tests and integration tests • Docker&#x2F;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…

  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.
