To avoid race conditions with concurrent requests better to use Redis Lua. See this example: https://gist.github.com/ptarjan/e38f45f2dfe601419ca3af937fff...

For this general pattern implemented in Golang, check out redis_rate: https://github.com/ductone/redis_rate

This fork also implements Redis Client Pipelining to check multiple limits at the same time, and Concurrency Limits.

Good for you doing a thing! Please understand the community is likely very wary of single maintainer, weekend project, high risk dependencies right now.

There aren't any tests...?

If folks are looking for a serious rate limiting package for Go, limiter is a good start: https://github.com/ulule/limiter

I'm sure that the people needing a "serious" solution would realize that a weekend project is probably not that.
