About this skill
Protect APIs from abuse and manage traffic using various rate limiting algorithms with per-user, per-IP, and per-endpoint strategies. Minimal working example: Detailed implementations in the references/ directory: - Overview - When to Use - Quick Start - Reference Guides - Best Practices - Protecting APIs from brute force attacks - Managing traffic spikes - Implementing tiered service plans - Preventing DoS attacks - Fairness in resource allocation - Enforcing quotas and usage limits - Include rate limit headers in responses - Use Redis for distributed rate limiting - Implement tiered limits for different user plans - Set appropriate window sizes and limits - Monitor rate limit metrics - Provide clear retry guidance - Document rate limits in API docs - Test under high load - Use in-memory storage in production - Set limits too restrictively - Forget to include Retry-After header - Ignore distributed scenarios - Make rate limits public (security) - Use simple counters for distributed systems - Forget cleanup of old data
