Configure Efficient Rate Limiter for Kotlin Backend
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
Kotlin Spring Boot Rate Limiter with Bucket4j & Redis
Project Summary:
We are a startup company operating a Spring Boot backend application written in Kotlin. Our backend serves approximately 1000 request per second and exposes around 200 APIs. We need to integrate a configurable, efficient, and secure rate limiting system using Bucket4j and Redis.
Key Requirements:
Aspect
Details
Tech Stack
Kotlin, Spring Boot, Redis, Bucket4j, JWT
Environment
Local server
Rate Limiting Basis
- Per API per user (using JWT)
Per API per IP (for unauthenticated endpoints) |
| Config Source | Redis (loaded from configuration files) |
| Security Concern | Protect endpoints from abuse, with flexible configuration per API/user/IP|
| Collaboration | Daily Git commits to separate branches
Daily progress reports
Staging environment available |
| Testing | Unit tests + testing in staging |
Expected Deliverables:
Configurable rate limiter integrated with existing Kotlin Spring Boot APIs
Support for both user (JWT-based) and IP-based throttling
Flexible limits (requests per second/minute per user/IP per API)
Config files to be loaded into Redis on startup
Clean, well-documented code with unit tests
Daily Git commits and short Google Meet standups
Startup Note to Freelancer:
We are a startup with limited resources and every $1 and every hour saved matters. Your profile caught my attention among others. We have long-term goals and are speaking with several candidates, but if you offer a good timeline and fair price, I’d love to get started today. My manager awaits feedback.
Milestones:
Redis & Bucket4j config setup and validation (rate limiting logic for 1 API)
Integration with JWT-based user throttling
IP-based limit setup for open APIs
Full API integration (~200+ endpoints)
Documentation & final testing on staging
Please confirm you understand the scope, and let us know your best price and timeline. We encourage a short kickoff call to clarify scope and avoid back-and-forth later.
