API Rate Limiting & DDoS Protection
Unprotected APIs get abused. We implement multi-layer rate limiting — at the edge with Cloudflare, at the load balancer with Nginx, and in your application — so legitimate users get through while abuse gets blocked.
Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Edge Protection
Cloudflare or AWS Shield provides DDoS mitigation at the network edge. Rate limiting rules based on IP, ASN, or country block volumetric attacks before they reach your infrastructure. Challenge pages filter bots from humans.
Application-Level Limiting
Per-user and per-API-key rate limits prevent abuse from authenticated users. Sliding window algorithms provide smooth rate limiting. Different endpoints get different limits based on cost and sensitivity. Redis-backed counters work across multiple instances.
Monitoring & Alerting
Rate limit hits are logged and dashboarded. Unusual patterns trigger alerts: sudden traffic spikes, credential stuffing attempts, or API scraping. Your team knows about abuse in real-time, not after the bill arrives.
