TLDR The Envoy Proxy + Lyft Ratelimiting is a good rate-limiting service. The aim for this blog is to help you get started with the service. We will be performing rate limiting based on various HTTP headers. The overall architecture can be visualized as the Simulation Architecture. In order to run the set-up just clone the repo and do it with the help of docker-compose. Once the stack is up, you will have 2 nginx containers running on port 9090 and 9091 of localhost.via the TL;DR App
