Rack-attack is a middleware rate limiter and request filter for the Rack interface. It provides a system for throttling HTTP requests and maintaining IP address blocklists to protect applications from malicious traffic and denial-of-service attacks. The project enables application layer DDoS mitigation and API rate limit management by identifying and rejecting requests from banned clients or abusive IP addresses. It allows for the definition of safelists to bypass filters and uses custom logic to determine if a client should be blocked or throttled. The tool covers comprehensive traffic mana
This project is a Rack middleware rate limiter and application layer firewall for Ruby web applications. It serves as a security layer to throttle and block HTTP requests based on custom rules, protecting web servers from abusive traffic. The system provides capabilities for IP blocking and the banning of malicious clients. It implements request safelisting to bypass restrictions for trusted users and uses time-windowed rate limiting to control request frequency. The middleware covers traffic management and monitoring, including the ability to track request patterns and instrument traffic ev
Node-rate-limiter is a utility library for Node.js designed to throttle both incoming and outgoing traffic using configurable time intervals and token bucket limits. It protects server capacity and backend APIs by capping the number of requests an individual client can make within a specified time window, while also controlling the frequency of outbound API calls and web crawling tasks to avoid triggering remote rate limit violations. The library implements a token-bucket rate limiting algorithm with continuous replenishment, allowing administrators to configure specific burst and drip rates.
Higress is an AI API gateway and cloud-native traffic manager that functions as a Kubernetes ingress controller. It provides a centralized system for routing, securing, and optimizing traffic directed toward large language models, AI agents, and microservice architectures. The project distinguishes itself through deep AI orchestration, including the ability to host and manage Model Context Protocol servers that transform REST APIs into tools for AI agents. It features specialized AI infrastructure for model request proxying, protocol translation across multiple providers, and semantic-based c
This project is a middleware for the Express web framework designed to restrict request frequency and protect server capacity. It functions as a traffic throttler that intercepts incoming requests to evaluate and enforce limits based on client identity within defined time windows.
The main features of express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit are: Middleware Rate Limiters, API Throttling, Distributed Rate Limiting, Request Rate Limiting, Request Interception Middlewares, Storage Adapters, Quota Status Headers, Service Abuse Protections.
