Rate Limiter Configuration API Endpoint

[elizabetheonoja-art]

Problem Statement

The backend needs a dedicated API endpoint for managing rate limiter configurations across different service tiers. Currently, rate limits are hardcoded and require redeployment to change.

Technical Bounds

• RESTful API for CRUD operations on rate limit configs
• Support per-user, per-service, and global rate limits
• Hot-reload without service restart
• Audit trail for all configuration changes

Steps

1. Design API schema for rate limit configurations
2. Implement CRUD endpoints with validation
3. Add configuration hot-reload mechanism
4. Implement audit logging for changes
5. Add integration tests

Hey, I'd really love to work on this. Hardcoded rate limits that require a redeploy to change is the kind of ops bottleneck that compounds fast once you have multiple service tiers. I'll design the config schema, wire up the CRUD endpoints, build the hot-reload mechanism, and make sure every change lands in the audit trail. Happy to start once assigned.

hello maintainer pls i can help resolve this issue and I have experience building configurable backend middleware and administrative APIs
I can implement the rate-limit configuration API with validated CRUD operations for global service-level and per-user policies then add hot-reload support so updates take effect without restarting the service. I will also include a complete audit trail for every configuration change and integration tests covering validation updates deletions and runtime reload behavior
