Short summary

Sliding window rate limiting with Redis mathematically prevents burst attacks that exploit fixed-window algorithms. This tutorial shows how to configure Laravel's RateLimiter facade with Redis to enforce tiered limits based on subscription level, including stricter rules for resource-intensive endpoints. The result is guaranteed protection against single-client abuse and predictable infrastructure costs.
