Implement rate limiting for API calls

Problem Statement

  • Rate limiting would be useful for database calls, and especially API calls.
    • Google Maps API records the usage and charges once a certain limit is hit.
    • Database calls are computationally expensive, and mass requests will quickly cause a slowdown, especially before eventual migration from SQLite to PostgreSQL.
