Article 1System Design Advanced: Security, Rate Limiting, and ReliabilityTLDR: Three reliability tools every backend system needs: Rate Limiting prevents API spam and DDoS, Circuit Breakers stop cascading failures when downstream services degrade, and Bulkheads isolate fai16 minArticle 2System Design HLD Example: Distributed Rate LimiterTLDR: A distributed rate limiter protects APIs from abuse and "noisy neighbors" by enforcing request quotas across a cluster of servers. The core technical challenge is Atomic State Management—solved 19 minArticle 3System Design HLD Example: API Gateway for MicroservicesTLDR: An API Gateway centralizes "cross-cutting concerns" like authentication, rate limiting, and routing at the edge of your infrastructure. The architectural crux is the separation of the Control Pl16 min
