A dead-simple rate limiting middleware library for Go supporting HTTP, FastHTTP, and Gin. It uses a pluggable store approach with built-in Redis and in-memory backends.

Use cases

• rate limit http requests in go
• add rate limiting middleware to gin
• throttle api requests per ip
• distributed rate limiting with redis
• limit requests per hour or day
• protect api from abuse

When to choose

• you need simple, well-tested rate limiting in a Go web service
• you want Redis-backed distributed rate limiting
• you use net/http, Gin, or FastHTTP

When to avoid

• you need advanced algorithms like sliding window or token bucket with complex rules
• you're not using Go
• you need rate limiting at the API gateway or proxy level
