Fluxora is a production-grade backend rate limiting and API traffic control platform built with Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. It enables developers to create API keys, configure dynamic rate limiting rules, and protect services using multiple algorithms including Fixed Window, Sliding Window, and Token Bucket.
Fluxora focuses on scalable backend architecture and distributed systems concepts such as Redis-based counters, asynchronous logging pipelines, analytics aggregation workers, audit logging, idempotency, webhook alerts, and fault-tolerant fallback strategies. The project is designed to simulate real-world infrastructure systems used in API gateways, developer platforms, and cloud services.
