Add rate limiter on all APIs

[Mustafiz04]

Add rate limit on all APIs. We are just starting but still, we don't allow anyone to abuse our APIs

5 requests per second (just a random number I gave)

If you have a different number for supper, we can discuss it.

Issues:

• Currently, there is no rate-limiting mechanism on the APIs, which leaves them vulnerable to abuse or excessive usage.
• This could potentially lead to performance degradation, server overload, or resource abuse if not addressed.
• To maintain the quality of service, we need to restrict the number of requests made to the APIs within a specific time frame.

Solution:

• Implement rate limiting on all APIs to ensure fair usage and prevent abuse.
• I propose setting a limit of 5 requests per second as a starting point (subject to discussion if a different rate is preferred).
• This will help to balance server performance while providing users with a reasonable request rate.

Write function like we can configure rate limit, algorithm and so on.
