Hello everyone, I created a lightweight self hosted rate limiter. Listed some of the key features below.

Token-bucket algorithm implemented with Redis + atomic Lua

Define policies with any combo of route / userId / clientApp / HTTP method / IP

REST API to create / update policies, able to test instantly in Swagger UI

X-API-Key header auth

Built-in Grafana + InfluxDB dashboard

Allowed vs Throttled pie chart

Tokens remaining over time line graph

Docker Compose stack, docker compose up -d and you’re live
