implementing-api-rate-limiting-and-throttling
Implements API rate limiting and throttling controls using token bucket, sliding window, and fixed window algorithms to protect against brute force attacks, credential stuffing, resource exhaustion, and API abuse. The engineer configures per-user, per-IP, and per-endpoint rate limits using Redis-backed counters, API gateway plugins, or application middleware, and implements proper HTTP 429 responses with Retry-After headers. Activates for requests involving rate limiting implementation, API throttling setup, request quota management, or API abuse prevention.
