7
+ This is an interesting problem about designing a distributed rate limiter. Let me break down the requirements:
8
+
9
+ 1. **Distributed system**: Multiple servers, no central coordinator
10
+ 2. **Sliding window algorithm**: More accurate than fixed windows for rate limiting
11
+ 3. **Clock skew handling**: Different servers may have slightly different clocks
12
+ 4. **Implementation**: Need to show actual code
13
+
14
+ Key challenges:
15
+ - Without a central coordinator, we need consensus or eventual consistency
16
+ - Clock skew can cause over/under counting of requests
17
+ - Sliding window needs more state tracking than fixed windows
18
+
19
+ Solutions I'll implement:
20
+ 1. **Use Redis as shared state store** (common pattern - while it's centralized storage, each node can access it independently)
21
+ - Actually, let me reconsider - if they want truly no central coordinator, I should use gossip protocol or vector clocks
22
+
23
+ 2. **Better approach for "no central coordinator"**: Use a combination of:
