RequestLimitBundle

The Symfony2 RequestLimitBundle provides a straightforward way to implement request rate limiting in Symfony2 applications. It helps prevent abuse, manage server load, and protect against brute-force attacks by restricting how often clients can access specific routes.

Key Features

• Rule-Based Limiting — Define multiple rules with different paths, limits, and time windows
• IP-Based Restrictions — Optionally apply limits to specific IP addresses or ranges
• Flexible Configuration — Set request limits per second, minute, or custom time intervals
• Immediate Denial — Configure rules to immediately deny access with a limit of zero
• Path Matching — Apply rules to URL patterns starting with specified paths

Philosophy

The bundle follows Symfony's configuration-over-convention approach, providing a clean YAML-based configuration system that integrates seamlessly with existing Symfony2 projects while maintaining simplicity and developer control.
