Harden distributed rate limiter
Hard System Design arena: token buckets, sliding windows, clock drift, and tenant isolation
Log in and clear the lower tiers to unlock this mission.
Missing prerequisites: system-design-easy-rate-limiter
A public API needs tenant-level limits across several stateless edge nodes. You are working inside a system design review board, and the arena only clears when the result is safe, deterministic, and explainable.
Learn to apply token buckets, sliding windows, clock drift, and tenant isolation in a system design review board while explaining the invariant, safety constraints, and hidden edge cases.
- Demonstrates token buckets, sliding windows, clock drift, and tenant isolation
- Handles the visible sample and hidden edge cases
- Keeps output deterministic and explainable
- Avoids unsafe dynamic execution
Clear the route first
You can read the mission brief, but the editor, hints, tests, and submit flow stay locked until progression or plan access catches up.
