  • Rack::Attack

    Rack middleware for blocking & throttling

  • It's entirely normal and expected. If your site gets any traction, volume and sophistication of probing will only increase. I recommend starting by setting up Rack Attack (https://github.com/rack/rack-attack), that will help you block the bad actors for awhile, if the volume gets high enough you'll want to start blocking traffic upstream in reverse proxy or load balancing layer, depending on architecture.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
