AspNetCoreRateLimit
ASP.NET Core middleware for IP and client-based rate limiting to protect Web APIs and MVC apps.
What is AspNetCoreRateLimit?
AspNetCoreRateLimit is an open-source rate limiting middleware for ASP.NET Core that controls the rate of incoming requests to Web APIs or MVC applications. It helps prevent abuse, manage traffic loads, and ensure fair resource usage by enforcing limits based on IP addresses or client IDs. The middleware supports configurable rules for different time intervals and request scopes, making it adaptable to various security and performance needs.
ASP.NET Core developers building Web APIs, MVC applications, or microservices that require request throttling to protect against denial-of-service attacks, manage API quotas, or comply with usage policies.
Developers choose AspNetCoreRateLimit for its flexibility, extensibility, and seamless integration with ASP.NET Core's middleware pipeline. It offers granular control over rate limiting rules, supports distributed scenarios with Redis, and allows runtime updates, making it a robust alternative to built-in .NET rate limiting for complex use cases.
