//! Distributed rate limiting via the [`Cache`](crate::cache::Cache) trait.
//!
//! One counter per `(key, window)` pair, held in the cache. With
//! `cache::RedisCache` the limit is shared: every process counts into
//! the same bucket via `INCRBY`. With `InMemoryCache` the limit is
//! **per process**, so N replicas allow N times the capacity — use it
//! for tests, not for a scaled deployment.
//!
//! ## Algorithm: fixed-window counter
//!
//! The bucket id is the window start in unix seconds
//! (`(now / window_secs) * window_secs`). Each request increments that
//! counter, and the counter expires with its window. No per-request
//! locks.
//!
//! The cost: a burst that straddles a window edge can reach
//! `2 * capacity` in one second. If you need smoothing, use the
//! in-process [`crate::rate_limit::RateLimitLayer`] or build a
//! sliding-window counter on the same `Cache` trait.
//!
//! ## Quick start
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use rustango::rate_limit::KeyBy;
//! use rustango::rate_limit_cache::{CacheRateLimitLayer, CacheRateLimitRouterExt};
//! use rustango::cache::RedisCache;
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! let cache: rustango::cache::BoxedCache =
//!     Arc::new(RedisCache::connect("redis://localhost").await?);
//!
//! let app = axum::Router::new()
//!     .route("/api/login", axum::routing::post(login))
//!     .cache_rate_limit(
//!         CacheRateLimitLayer::new(cache, 5, Duration::from_secs(60))
//!             .key_by(KeyBy::Ip)
//!             .key_prefix("login"),
