    express-rate-limit is an npm library that provides a rate limiting middleware for Express, so it's easier to limit repeated requests to all APIs or only to specific endpoints. The middleware allows you to control how many requests the same user can make to the same endpoints before an application starts returning 429 Too Many Requests errors.

    Implementing API rate limiting in your Node.js project is an important step toward maintaining the stability and reliability of your application.

  • Rate limiting per user using Cloud Armor
    1 project | /r/googlecloud | 21 Apr 2023
    One option would be to bake rate-limiting middleware into your service. For example, in express-rate-limit you can define a keyGenerator function that takes an HTTP request and extracts the key that should be rate limited. I assume there are similar middleware packages for other frameworks. This approach would get the job done and it would be transparent to your customers.

    The last feature is a rate limit to prevent spam. Highscore has no auth system all endpoints are public and can be accessible by anybody. That's why adding a rate limit is useful to prevent abuse requests for a malicious users. For this, I used the very good express-rate-limit library which does the job perfectly. Like all other features, you can configure the rate limit using env variables.
