+
+## Why ratelimit-engine?
+
+Most rate limiting libraries give you a fixed algorithm with configurable numbers.
+`ratelimit-engine` treats the **algorithm as a first-class plugin** — swap it, compose it, or write your own without changing a line of engine code.
+

+
+## Features
+
+- **5 built-in algorithms** — Fixed Window, Sliding Window, Token Bucket, Leaky Bucket, Composite
+- **Composite mode** — combine algorithms with `ALL` (every must pass) or `ANY` (one must pass)
+- **Pluggable stores** — in-memory (dev/test) and Redis with atomic Lua scripts (production)
+- **Pluggable algorithms** — implement `BaseAlgorithm` to ship your own logic
+- **Key resolvers** — by IP, user ID, API key, route, or any combination
+- **Structured logging** — JSON logs with pluggable transport (Winston, Pino, or default stdout)
+- **Error factory** — every error has a machine-readable code, human message, and context
+- **Framework adapters** — Express and Fastify out of the box
+- **Standard HTTP headers** — `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`, `Retry-After`
+- **Fail-open / fail-closed** — configurable behaviour when the store is unavailable
+- **Lifecycle hooks** — `onBlocked` and `onAllowed` callbacks for observability
+- **Zero magic values** — all constants in dedicated files, JSDoc types on every contract

+### Request Flow
+
+```
+Incoming Request
+      │
+      ▼
+Adapter.extractContext(req)
+      │  builds RequestContext {ip, userId, apiKey, method, path, headers}
+      ▼
+KeyResolver.resolve(context)
+      │  applies keyBy fn → prefixed string key  e.g. "rle:ip:1.2.3.4"
+      ▼
+Algorithm.check(key, store)
+      │  reads/writes store, applies algorithm math
+      │  returns RateLimitResult {allowed, limit, remaining, resetAt, retryAfter}
+      ▼
+HeaderWriter.write(res, result)
+      │  sets X-RateLimit-* headers
+      ▼
+  allowed?
+   ├── YES → next() / continue
+   └── NO  → HeaderWriter.sendBlocked() → 429 + Retry-After
+                  │
+                  ▼
+            onBlocked hook (optional)

+

+
+## Algorithms
+
+### Fixed Window
+
+Counts requests in a fixed time slot. Simple and cheap. Boundary bursts are possible.
+
+```js
+import { FixedWindow } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+new FixedWindow({ limit: 100, windowMs: 60_000 })
+// 100 requests per minute
+```
+
+### Sliding Window
+
+Weighted approximation of a rolling window. No boundary spike problem.
+
+```js
+import { SlidingWindow } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+new SlidingWindow({ limit: 100, windowMs: 60_000 })
+```
+
+### Token Bucket
+
+Tokens refill at a fixed rate. Allows controlled bursting.
+
+```js
+import { TokenBucket } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+new TokenBucket({ capacity: 100, refillRate: 10 })
+// bucket holds 100 tokens, refills 10/sec
+```
+
+### Leaky Bucket
+
+Requests processed at a fixed rate. Excess dropped. Strict output rate control.
+
+```js
+import { LeakyBucket } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+new LeakyBucket({ capacity: 100, leakRate: 10 })
+// queue depth 100, drains 10 requests/sec
+```
+
+### Composite
+
+Combines multiple algorithms. Use `ALL` (every must pass) or `ANY` (one must pass).
+
+```js
+import { Composite, TokenBucket, SlidingWindow, COMPOSITE_MODES } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+// Allow burst but enforce a per-minute hard cap
+new Composite({
+  algorithms: [
+    new TokenBucket({ capacity: 50, refillRate: 10 }),
+    new SlidingWindow({ limit: 200, windowMs: 60_000 }),
+  ],
+  mode: COMPOSITE_MODES.ALL,
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Algorithm
+
+Implement `BaseAlgorithm` to plug in your own logic:
+
+```js
+import { BaseAlgorithm } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+class MyAlgorithm extends BaseAlgorithm {
+  constructor() {
+    super('my-algorithm')
+  }
+
+  async check(key, store) {
+    // your logic here
+    // store.get / store.set / store.increment available
+    return {
+      allowed:   true,
+      limit:     100,
+      remaining: 99,
+      resetAt:   new Date(Date.now() + 60_000),
+    }
+  }
+
+  async reset(key, store) {
+    await store.delete(key)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Stores
+
+### MemoryStore
+
+Single-instance, in-process. Best for development and testing.
+
+```js
+import { MemoryStore } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+new MemoryStore()
+```
+
+### RedisStore
+
+Distributed, atomic Lua scripts. Required for multi-pod / Kubernetes deployments.
+
+```js
+import { RedisStore } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+import Redis from 'ioredis'
+
+const redis = new Redis({ host: 'localhost', port: 6379 })
+
+new RedisStore({ client: redis, prefix: 'myapp:rl:' })
+```
+
+### Custom Store
+
+Implement `BaseStore` to use any backend (Postgres, Valkey, DragonflyDB, etc.):
+
+```js
+import { BaseStore } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+class PostgresStore extends BaseStore {
+  constructor(pool) {
+    super('postgres')
+    this._pool = pool
+  }
+
+  async get(key) { /* ... */ }
+  async set(key, entry, ttlMs) { /* ... */ }
+  async increment(key, ttlMs) { /* ... */ }
+  async delete(key) { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Resolvers
+
+```js
+import { byIP, byUser, byAPIKey, byRoute, compositeResolver } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+byIP       // "ip:1.2.3.4"
+byUser     // "user:abc123"
+byAPIKey   // "apikey:sk-..."
+byRoute    // "route:GET:/api/data"
+
+// Combine resolvers — scopes limit to user + route together
+compositeResolver([byUser, byRoute])   // "user:abc123|route:GET:/api/data"
+
+// Custom resolver
+const byTenant = (ctx) => `tenant:${ctx.rawRequest.headers['x-tenant-id']}`
+```
+
+---
+
+## Framework Adapters
+
+### Express
+
+```js
+const limiter = createLimiter({ algorithm, store, keyBy })
+
+app.use(limiter.express())                  // global
+app.use('/api', limiter.express())          // route-scoped
+```
+
+### Fastify
+
+```js
+fastify.addHook('onRequest', limiter.fastify())
+```
+
+### Framework-agnostic
+
+```js
+const result = await limiter.check({
+  ip:      '1.2.3.4',
+  userId:  'user:99',
+  method:  'GET',
+  path:    '/api/data',
+  headers: {},
+})
+
+if (!result.allowed) {
+  // handle 429 yourself
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Logging
+
+Default output is structured JSON to stdout/stderr. Plug in Winston or Pino:
+
+```js
+import { createLimiter, wrapExternalLogger } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+import winston from 'winston'
+
+const logger = winston.createLogger({ /* ... */ })
+
+const limiter = createLimiter({
+  algorithm, store, keyBy,
+  logger: wrapExternalLogger(logger),
+})
+```
+
+Log levels: `debug` → `info` → `warn` → `error`
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Every error has a machine-readable `code` from `ERROR_CODES`:
+
+```js
+import { ErrorFactory, ERROR_CODES } from 'ratelimit-engine'
+
+try {
+  await limiter.check(context)
+} catch (err) {
+  if (err.code === ERROR_CODES.STORE_UNAVAILABLE) {
+    // handle store outage
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
