Someone here was asking about rate limiting across a cluster. I’ve pulled out how we do it at Logflare into an example project: [GitHub - Logflare/phoenix-rate-limiter-example: An example of distributed rate limiting with Phoenix using PubSub and ETS. · GitHub](https://github.com/Logflare/phoenix-rate-limiter-example)

You can play with it at: [https://phx-limit.gigalixirapp.com/](https://phx-limit.gigalixirapp.com/)

And you can hear me talk about it at ElixirConf in September!

Would love feedback on the code / supervision tree too.

Could you please write a high level description of your design? 🙂 A detailed blog post would be even better.

Thanks for posting. Even without a description I will study it later.
