Add Project Details

You are required to build a Rate-Limiting Middleware for backend APIs to manage and monitor API usage effectively. The middleware should allow developers to configure limits on how many requests a user or client can make within a specified time frame. Key features include:

• Configurable Limits: Enable developers to set custom request limits and time windows.
• IP-Based or User-Based Limiting: Implement rate limiting based on either the client's IP address or a unique user identifier.
• Storage Options: Support both in-memory storage (for simplicity) and persistent storage like Redis for distributed setups.
• Headers for Communication: Include headers in the response to inform clients about the remaining request count and reset time.
• Flexibility in Integration: Ensure that the middleware is easy to integrate into popular backend frameworks such as Express.js or Fastify.

This project is essential for understanding backend scalability and API management while building production-grade software.
