Using Modern.NET’s Integrated Rate Limiting and Output Caching
Third-party middleware packages are no longer necessary thanks to native performance features included in modern.NET: While output caching significantly lowers database load by storing whole HTTP replies server-side, rate limitation shields your APIs against misuse and denial-of-service attacks. Step 1: Configuring Built-In Rate Limiting Rate limiting controls the frequency of requests clients can make to…
