Learn to manage traffic and prevent overload using bulkheads and rate limiting techniques
Action Steps
- Implement rate limiting using a time-based approach to restrict the number of requests from a client
- Use a bulkhead approach to isolate components and prevent cascading failures
- Configure a rate limiter to allow 100 requests per minute from a client
- Test the rate limiter and bulkhead implementation to ensure they are working as expected
- Compare the performance of rate limiting and bulkhead approaches in different scenarios
