Enthusiastic souls who want to know about hands on implementation, please jump to 08:00.

[mayankvora]

What an amazing explanation. The way you explained it is simply superb and anybody can understand it just within 9 minutes.

[passionatefortech]

i am so glad u made the rest api primer course, much needed

[vinodcs]

Thank you for explaining concept so beautifully... I am really getting lot of understanding from your videos about System Design concepts.

[RamSingh-zpnl]

Was waiting for rate limiting hopefully you will upload this series videos quickly

[sumanthkeith]

Always there is some thing new to take away from your videos. Thanks a lot for yor efforts ❤️

[ChandraShekhar-bycd]

Thanks a lot for such a detailed explanation. But please take this request of Building Whatsapp/Uber/Swiggy like system in full go. Its been quite long and we have not seen any full design for any system. It will really help us in managing and approaching system design interview for FANG, Its been my 10th times requesting this. Thanks 🙂

[adityasingh]

nicely explained ...thanks for the video ..

[ankitzizoufan]

Your videos are nice. Would love to see a video on Swagger or API authentication and authorization as well .

[chaitanyaasati]

Thank you so much for creating this video. I have seen API Limiting feature while learning Django. But don't know how this is implemented by Django. Waiting for next video.🙃

[aakashrajchittimalla]

Binge watched the complete REST API series, great videos the only complaint is, there should have been a correct order of videos. Thanks for such a great playlist!

[MrPrakharSharma]

Great content! Adding some practical code snippets would further enhance comprehension and engage a broader audience.

[pammybcc]

i have seen avoiding going in the details.. saying "devil is in the detail"
but you handled it perfectly.. :)

[shashanknaik]

Hi
Thanks for the awesome contents.
In your system design playlist u mentioned there are 3 ways by which various components interact with each like via api, RPC or mesaages. Can we have a video in which u can explain in which case what method is suitable.

Thanks in advance.

[gkarthikraja]

@sudoCode Can you please suggest some books for the rate limiting implementation methods?

[surya]

what options are available for fallback?

[TheDiscreet]

Hi Yogita.. For the system design interviews, we have seen a few applications being designed in your channel. Can we have a video on where this rate limiting applies and where it does not apply.. and reasons for those.

[amitkrishna]

What if we are able to scale does the rate limit change?

[priyakoli]

Hi,
What is Circuit Break Pattern as compared to this then? I mean how to understand both things as both are targeting for slow responses. I am damn confused!

[openretailsstore]

Hi Yogita, Nice explanation but got one interesting question on API rate limiting - How do we protect our API gateway which handles API rate limit logic if DDOS attach on API gateway itself. I know there is a API rate limit logic in place but how do we protect the API which handles this if thousands of millions of request send to that server.
