Скачать или смотреть Implementing Rate Limiting and Throttling

Implementing rate limiting and throttling is an essential practice for managing API access and protecting your services from abuse. Rate limiting involves setting limits on the number of API requests a user or application can make within a specific timeframe. This helps prevent overuse and ensures fair usage of resources. Configuring rate limits requires a careful balance between performance and security, as overly restrictive limits can hinder legitimate use while overly lenient limits can expose your services to abuse. Throttling policies can be employed to temporarily restrict access when a user exceeds the allowed rate, ensuring that your API remains available to other users. By implementing rate limiting and throttling, you can protect your API from denial-of-service attacks, reduce the risk of resource exhaustion, and maintain a high level of service availability.
