API Rate Limiting with Redis | Node.js + Redis + Docker + MySQL | Backend Security – tutorial #4

Описание: API Rate Limiting with Redis | Node.js + Redis + Docker + MySQL | Backend Security – tutorial #4

In this 4th backend episode of our full-stack RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Multi-Agent series, we’ll add API Rate Limiting to protect our backend from abuse and brute-force attacks. By using Redis with Docker, we’ll implement a secure, high-performance rate limiter that controls the number of requests per user/IP within a time window.
