Reading the title, I was expecting to see a somewhat shady article on using multiple servers to dodge API rate limits.
Instead, they've got a pretty snazzy writeup of how to effectively keep your distributed processes working together properly. I'm curious why they didn't pass a token rather than the actual Lua over the wire via Redis, but it certainly seems to work for them.
