API Gateway - Throttling / Rate Limiting / Max Incoming requests to API gateway

  • 1.  API Gateway - Throttling / Rate Limiting / Max Incoming requests to API gateway

    Posted Thu May 09, 2024 05:38 PM

    I would like to know in which policy in API gateway we can implement Throttling & Rate Limiting.

    Can we implement both at the same time ?

    Also, where can add max limit size for all API’s (maximum thread pool size) ?

    Hi Sandeep,
    API Gateway has two policies - Under Threat protection, we have a Denial of service through which you can throttle the incoming requests. Please note that this global setting applies to all the API calls coming to the system.

    We also have a Traffic optimization policy which can rate limit the API calls for the duration configured. We can implement both of the policies at the same time.

    Note: Denial of Service policy is global, whereas Traffic optimization can be configured globally for multiple APIs and at the API level.

    If you use the on-premise variant, we can configure the thread pool size in the Integration server Admin page.
