Rate limiting endpoints

[pratapvardhan]

Usecase: APIs rate-limited by user roles. How should gramex enable API rate-limiting?

• Based on role usage limit
• Throttle load for burst usage
• Should it be configuration enabled or handled within functions?

Would be super useful for building APIs and SaaS products.

Agreed.

Throttling for burst usage is independent of role-based usage, and I think we can handle this via caching. So I'd ignore this need for now

I suggest having this data-based rather than configuration-based or function-based. We could have a table like this:

... and allow admins to edit such a table.
