Initial Analysis
2. Non-functional Requirements:
- : "Is this system expected to handle high traffic?"
- 🧵: "Do we need to consider thread-safety and concurrency?"
1. High-Level Architecture:
- 🔧 "We'll design a rate limiter component that tracks requests and decides if they
should be allowed or blocked."
- Introduce a RateLimiter Interface that can have multiple implementations like:
- Sliding Window ⏳
- Fixed Window
- Token Bucket 🪣
2. Extendability:
- 🧩 "We should design the system to support future algorithms, so we can easily
swap between them or add new ones."
3. How to Extend:
- Make each algorithm an implementation of the RateLimiter Interface for
modularity and future flexibility.
1. Discuss Future-Proofing:
- 🔧 "We can extend the system to handle different algorithms by adding new classes
that implement the RateLimiter Interface."
- 📜 "This would allow rules to be configured dynamically, based on different user
types or endpoints."
1. Summarize:
- 📊 "We designed a modular rate limiter that can be extended with new algorithms,
handles concurrency, and scales for distributed systems."
- 🧩 "It’s flexible, so we can easily swap algorithms and configure limits
dynamically."
