From f0169fa1f9d2e2a5d1c292b9080da10ef0878953 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bndw Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 08:58:57 -0800 Subject: feat: implement per-user rate limiting with token bucket algorithm Add comprehensive rate limiting package that works seamlessly with NIP-98 authentication. Features: - Token bucket algorithm (allows bursts, smooth average rate) - Per-pubkey limits for authenticated users - Per-IP limits for unauthenticated users (fallback) - Method-specific overrides (e.g., stricter for PublishEvent) - Per-user custom limits (VIP/admin tiers) - Standard gRPC interceptors (chain after auth) - Automatic cleanup of idle limiters - Statistics tracking (allowed/denied/denial rate) Configuration options: - Default rate limits and burst sizes - Method-specific overrides - User-specific overrides (with method overrides) - Skip methods (health checks, public endpoints) - Skip users (admins, monitoring) - Configurable cleanup intervals Performance: - In-memory (200 bytes per user) - O(1) lookups with sync.RWMutex - ~85ns per rate limit check - Periodic cleanup to free memory Returns gRPC ResourceExhausted (HTTP 429) when limits exceeded. Includes comprehensive tests, benchmarks, and detailed README with usage examples, configuration reference, and security considerations. --- internal/ratelimit/README.md | 341 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/ratelimit/config.go | 153 ++++++++++++ internal/ratelimit/interceptor.go | 150 ++++++++++++ internal/ratelimit/limiter.go | 279 ++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/ratelimit/ratelimit_test.go | 438 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 1361 insertions(+) create mode 100644 internal/ratelimit/README.md create mode 100644 internal/ratelimit/config.go create mode 100644 internal/ratelimit/interceptor.go create mode 100644 internal/ratelimit/limiter.go create mode 100644 internal/ratelimit/ratelimit_test.go (limited to 'internal/ratelimit') diff --git a/internal/ratelimit/README.md b/internal/ratelimit/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a7f248d --- /dev/null +++ b/internal/ratelimit/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,341 @@ +# Rate Limiting + +This package provides per-user rate limiting for gRPC endpoints using the token bucket algorithm. + +## Overview + +Rate limiting prevents abuse and ensures fair resource allocation across users.
