Hello, I'm Maneshwar. I'm building git-lrc, a Micro AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free and source-available on Github. Star git-lrc to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback.
Every serious API will eventually tell you to sit down and be quiet.
Hammer GitHub, Stripe, or AWS a little too eagerly and your requests start bouncing back with a polite but firm 429.
I always found that fascinating, so let's build the thing that says no.
By the end of this post we'll have designed a rate limiter that actually holds up when you put it in front of real traffic, and I promise to only make a reasonable number of bucket puns along the way.
