Rate limiting for Envoy Gateway protects backend services from overload, reduces abuse, and enforces usage quotas at the edge.
Create a BackendTrafficPolicy that enables local, global, or combined rate limits on the relevant HTTPRoute or Gateway.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
You apply rate limits to Envoy Gateway by creating a BackendTrafficPolicy that targets your HTTPRoute or Gateway resources, enabling per-route or per-gateway throttling to protect backend services from overload.
Local rate limiting operates per Envoy instance to dampen bursts without external dependencies, while global rate limiting uses Redis to enforce shared quotas across all instances and gateways.
Yes, Redis backs global rate limiting to enforce a shared quota across all instances and gateways, ensuring consistent throttling for per-client quotas defined in your BackendTrafficPolicy.
Yes, combined mode lets you apply both local and global rate limits simultaneously for layered protection across routes or gateways using BackendTrafficPolicy with clientSelectors and rateLimit rules.
You configure per-client quotas by defining clientSelectors and rateLimit rules within a BackendTrafficPolicy, which then applies the throttling logic to your specified HTTPRoute or Gateway resources.
No, local rate limiting requires no external services and operates directly per Envoy instance to dampen traffic bursts quickly before they reach your backend services.
