As we now that we can set maximum HTTP requests / second from a single client in Haproxy or Nginx load balancer. Is this configuration or an equivalent feature exists in Digitalocean load balancer?
DO’s load balancer is rate limited to 200 requests per second. Currently this is not a configurable option.
Why there is no anything about that in docs?
for example here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/load-balancers/overview/
Allowing a hacker to hit a login, password reset or other security sensitive endpoint 200 times per second is too much. Will DO load balancers ever have configurable rate limiting?
You could also do rate limiting on the server(s) behind the load balancer.
Yes, you’re right. I will be doing that. Thanks for the reply :-) But it would make far more sense for this setting to exist just 1 time in the LB rather than me having to add code in every app.
