This blog is kinda strange because it presents a working solution, and then immediately dismisses it with:

> We wanted a rate limiter and now we’re learning a niche programming language just to execute some code in a database that has nothing relevant to our task but a roundabout way of storing an int into RAM.

If you this seems like unfair criticism, read the blog title. It is "Ratelimitly’s Official Engineering Blog". What you are supposed to do is (1) get scared about complexity of the task (2) contact author's startup and buy rate-limiting-as-a-service (the pricing is "contact us" BTW)
