  • 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.
