SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rate-limiting and throttling for .NET API endpoints to prevent overload, protect resources, and ensure fair access across clients.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Global and per-endpoint rate limiting using ASP.NET Core Rate Limiting
  • Multiple limiter strategies (Fixed Window, Sliding Window, Token Bucket, Concurrency) with per-partition options
  • Easy integration in startup: AddRateLimiter and UseRateLimiter with endpoint policies
  • Real-world use case: prevent brute-force login attempts and protect expensive downstream operations

Quick Start

Configure and apply rate limiter policies in your ASP.NET Core project to start enforcing limits right away.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement rate limiting in ASP.NET Core to prevent API overload?▼

You implement rate limiting in ASP.NET Core by using AddRateLimiter and UseRateLimiter to configure global and per-endpoint policies, preventing API overload and ensuring predictable performance across clients.

What rate limiting strategies are available for .NET endpoints?▼

Available rate limiting strategies for .NET endpoints include Fixed Window, Sliding Window, Token Bucket, and Concurrency limiters, with configurable per-partition options for multi-tenant services.

Can I apply per-endpoint throttling policies to protect specific login endpoints?▼

Yes, you can apply per-endpoint throttling policies to protect specific login endpoints, preventing brute-force attempts and ensuring fair resource use across clients on your .NET API.

Do I need .NET 7 to use the built-in rate limiter middleware?▼

Yes, you need .NET 7 or later to use the built-in rate limiter middleware, which provides the AddRateLimiter and UseRateLimiter extensions for configuring API traffic controls.

How do I customize the 429 response when an API rate limit is exceeded?▼

You customize the 429 response when an API rate limit is exceeded by configuring custom handling within your rate limiter policies, allowing tailored error responses for clients hitting throttling boundaries.
