API rate limiting in 60 seconds #amazon #google #systemdesign

Too much of a good thing can kill your server. 💸 If one user hogs all your resources, everyone else suffers. That’s where Rate Limiting comes in!

The Example: Imagine a water pipe. If one person opens a fire hose, the rest of the neighborhood loses pressure. Rate limiting is the valve that ensures everyone gets their fair share. 🚰

Key Concepts:

- Throttling: Slowing users down instead of cutting them off.

- Quotas: Limiting requests per minute/hour.

- User Experience: Keeping your app snappy for everyone.
