Показать описание


In this video we will take a look how to configure API Throttling for AWS API Gateway. API Throttling in AWS has the following properties:
- Throttles are applied on a best-effort basis and should be thought of as targets rather than guaranteed request ceilings.
- API Gateway throttles requests to your API using the token bucket algorithm. Set both burst and rate of limits.
- Responds with 429 Too Many Requests
- You can set target limits for API stages or specific API routes. Account throttling limits set by AWS are shared by all APIs.

This would help keep company APIs under the threshold of triggering a block on AWS WAF so anything that got blocked would rarely be in question.

This will protect the resources that are behind aws api gateway from ddos but still you will be charged for api gateway usage.

Great tutorial! I wish I could follow it, but unfortunately AWS has decided to remove all buttons in the menu panel on the left and move them into different places under the "Usage Plan" section. I hate it when they move things around and all available documentation becomes obsolete...
