Hi - I was trying to run some basic performance tests on Spaces recently and after a certain level, the requests were getting rejected with 403s (sample below). Could someone indicate what rate limits are enforced on Spaces (open HTTP connections, max API calls, etc)? Thanks
Upload status 403 Forbidden: resp: &{Status:403 Forbidden StatusCode:403 Proto:HTTP/1.1 ProtoMajor:1 ProtoMinor:1 Header:map[X-Amz-Request-Id:[tx00000000000001037eae3-0059ae1784-8e28-nyc3a] Content-Length:[177] Accept-Ranges:[bytes] Content-Type:[application/xml] Date:[Tue, 05 Sep 2017 03:18:28 GMT] Strict-Transport-Security:[max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains; preload] Access-Control-Allow-Origin:[]] Body:0xc4202849c0 ContentLength:177 TransferEncoding:[] Close:false Uncompressed:false Trailer:map[] Request:0xc4200d22d0 TLS:0xc4200a86e0}

@simeonpashley @jborg at the moment we are rate limiting individual Spaces (the 503 error) that are receiving more than 200 reqs/s. If you need higher throughput we would ask that you create multiple Spaces and split your objects among them.
Also, since Spaces is not a CDN, we recommend using Spaces as a CDN origin with a 3rd party CDN if you’re trying to serve assets with low latency and high throughput to your end users. (here’s a couple links with configuration examples: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/does-do-spaces-provide-a-cdn-in-front-of-the-storage-for-fast-global-access)
@wavejd Can you file a ticket about the 403’s and share whatever debug / log/ screengrab info you can along with it? This isn’t a rate limiting error AFAIK but we would like to investigate for sure.
@wawawa We are working on a post on exactly that topic (with a focus on architecting for performance and reliability) and will publish it soon (this month, ideally).
