Question

How do I protect my application in App platform from DDos attacks?

I’m just load tested my new app(App platform - Dockerfile) with JMeter, my application accepted all requests (1000/rpc) from my ip, How do I protect my App from someone who would want to do the same in production, Should I add nginx configuration to my dockerfile? But it’s gonna work on single droplet separately so I don’t think it’s the best decision

Please provide some information on that issue, Thank you very much!

Hi there,

The DigitalOcean App Platform already provides DDoS mitigation out of the box.

You can find the complete list of features that come with the App Platform here:

Hope that this helps!
