> But for stuff like rate-limiting you probably don't care. I guess you would care in this scenario, otherwise you have cascading failures (something makes pg crash, and the lack of rate limit allows the abuse to continue). So implementing a rate limiter separate from the rest may make sense too. I like their idea of doing it on memory and keeping the load balanced, as it doesn’t rely on any dependency.
