Rate Limiting - Universal Skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides robust, distributed rate limiting to protect your applications from abuse, brute-force attacks, and denial-of-service incidents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prevent Abuse: Defend against brute-force login attempts, API abuse, and spam submissions.
• Distributed Enforcement: Uses Redis for consistent rate limiting across multiple application instances.
• Intelligent Algorithms: Implements the industry-standard Token Bucket algorithm, allowing bursts while maintaining average rates.
• Use Case: Protect your public API by limiting requests per IP address and authenticated endpoints by user ID, ensuring fair usage and preventing resource exhaustion.

Quick Start

Apply the rate limiting middleware to your FastAPI application to protect the /api/auth/login endpoint with 5 requests per minute per IP.
