This commit introduces a dual-mode caching and rate limiting system that can use
either Redis (for distributed deployments) or ETS/Cachex (for single-node setups).
Key changes:
- Add Cache abstraction layer that automatically switches between Redis and Cachex
- Implement RedisCache module with full distributed cache functionality
- Implement RedisRateLimiter with sliding window algorithm for accurate rate limiting
- Add RateLimiterWrapper to provide unified API for both implementations
- Update application startup to conditionally use Redis when REDIS_URL is set
- Migrate all cache operations to use the new Cache abstraction
- Support graceful fallback to ETS-based solutions when Redis is unavailable
The system automatically detects Redis availability via REDIS_URL environment
variable and switches between implementations without code changes. This enables
proper distributed caching and rate limiting in Kubernetes deployments while
maintaining backward compatibility for development environments.
