System design interviews play a vital role in hiring software engineers and managers. These interviews test the ability of the candidate to solve problems under different constraints. A candidate’s performance in a system design interview is a significant factor in deciding the hire/no-hire decisions and the level assigned to the incoming candidate.

In this course, you’ll go through a miniature form of our primary course on system design: Grokking Modern System Design Interview for Engineers & Managers. This crash course aims to give you an overall gist of the system designing process using short, easy-to-digest problems. Each design problem of the course can be completed in about 15 minutes, giving you the flexibility to include them in your jam-packed schedules.

# What is a rate limiter?

A **rate limiter**, as the name suggests, puts a limit on the number of requests a service fulfills. It throttles requests that cross the predefined limit. For example, a client using a particular service’s API that is configured to allow 500 requests per minute would block further incoming requests for the client if the number of requests the client makes exceeds that limit.
