In the context of T616, we need a backend where to store live usage statistics for various "users" of the Web API.
After discussion with @olasd we picked Redis among the various backends supported by flask-limiter.
This task tracks the need of deploying and configuring Redis for our current rate-limiting goals.

Redis has been setup by hand (install redis-server, add password protection to the default config file).
It wants to be puppetized.
