How can I implement rate limiting in my application using Redis?

How can I implement rate limiting in my application using Redis?

You can implement rate limiting in your application using Redis by storing the request count for each user and the timestamp of their first request.

What data structure should I use in Redis for this?

You can use a simple key-value pair where the key is the user ID and the value is a list of timestamps of their requests.

How do I reset the count after a certain time period?

You can set an expiration time on the key in Redis, so it automatically deletes the key after a specified duration.

Can I use Redis' built-in commands for this?

Yes, you can use commands like INCR to increment the count and EXPIRE to set the expiration time.
