golang rate limit

To implement rate limiting in Go, you can follow these steps:

Import the necessary packages:
Import the time package to handle time-related operations.
Import the sync package to handle synchronization between goroutines (if required).
Define a struct to represent the rate limiter:
This struct should contain fields to store the necessary information for rate limiting, such as the maximum number of requests allowed within a certain time window, the current number of requests made, and the last time a request was made.
Implement a constructor function:
This function should create an instance of the rate limiter struct and initialize its fields with the appropriate values.
Implement a method to check if a request can be allowed:
This method should check if the current number of requests has reached the maximum limit within the specified time window.
If the limit is reached, the method should wait until the next time window before allowing the request.
If the limit is not reached, the method should update the request count and the last request time, allowing the request to proceed.
Use the rate limiter in your code:
Create an instance of the rate limiter using the constructor function.
Before making a request, call the method to check if the request can be allowed.
If the request is allowed, proceed with the request.
If the request is not allowed, handle it accordingly (e.g., return an error, delay the request, or log a message).

By following these steps, you can implement rate limiting in Go using the provided packages and functions.
