Service Rate Limit Buckets


A Bucket defines the limit that should be enforced against the key it is associated with. A Rate Limit can have multiple buckets so that you can detect and stop attacks at different velocities.

Prerequisites:

  1. Create a Verification Service
  2. Create a Service Rate Limit
(information)
