This Skill helps manage and control the rate of incoming requests to your Apache APISIX services, preventing overload and ensuring smooth traffic flow using the limit-req plugin.
Use the a6-plugin-limit-req skill to create a route with a rate limit of 10 requests per second and a burst of 5.

You can configure rate limiting in Apache APISIX by applying the limit-req plugin to a route, setting a per-second rate, and defining a burst capacity to control incoming request flow.
Leaky bucket rate limiting smooths traffic by delaying excess requests rather than rejecting them immediately, allowing configurable burst capacity to handle sudden spikes without overwhelming upstream services.
Yes, you can apply distributed rate limiting across multiple APISIX nodes by configuring the limit-req plugin to use Redis, which shares rate limit state across your deployment.
The rate parameter sets the sustained allowed requests per second, while burst defines the maximum capacity for excess requests that can be delayed or queued before being rejected.
You do not need Redis for single-node traffic shaping, but Redis is required for distributed rate limiting to synchronize request counters and burst capacity across multiple APISIX instances.
