Create a prototype of Rate Limiter Functionality

[Shaily20]

Issue Description

The objective of this issue is to prototype a rate limiter functionality for skill-tree project to control & prioritise the rate of incoming requests based on the user roles. A rate limiter will help us regulate the number of requests a client can make within a specified time frame.

Expected Behavior

• Control the rate of the incoming requests.
• Prioritise the requests based on the roles sending them. Example: maven > member.

Current Behavior

There is no limit on the requests being sent to the skill tree project.

Requirements:

• Gather the requirements of the project.
• Set the milestones based on the above.
• Create a design document outlining the pros and cons of various rate limiting algorithms, where to implement the rate limiter (client side, server side or middleware).
• Prototype implementation of the rate limiter functionality.

Additional Information

This issue will serve as a starting point for implementing rate limiting functionality.
