Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is an architectural pattern that restricts the rate of requests to services or APIs to prevent overload and abuse. It specifies allowed request frequencies, throttling behavior, and response signals. Common deployments include API gateways, CDNs, and in-service controls to ensure predictable availability and fair resource sharing.
