This skill covers implementing robust API rate limiting and throttling controls using advanced algorithms like token bucket and sliding window. It teaches how to protect backend systems against attacks such as brute force, credential stuffing, and resource exhaustion. Key components include configuring limits per user, per IP, and per endpoint, utilizing Redis for distributed counting, and implementing proper HTTP 429 responses for effective abuse prevention.
