rate-limiting-and-traffic-control

What problem does it solve?

Rate limiting and traffic control tackle overload, abuse, and variability in demand by applying quotas, burst handling, and backpressure to protect critical workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define limit dimensions: tenant, user, API key, IP, partner, endpoint, operation type, cost unit, or priority class.
• Choose algorithm: token bucket, leaky bucket, fixed window, sliding window, concurrency limit, queue depth limit, or adaptive throttling.
• Design response behavior, observability, and override procedures.
• Protect downstream resources and ensure service reliability under pressure.

Quick Start

Configure a basic rate limit for an API endpoint so requests above the limit receive an explicit rejection and Retry-After guidance.
