Rate Limit Plugin

Introduction

The Rate Limit Plugin allows you to add rate limiting to your supergraph, ensuring that the supergraph is not overloaded with requests. This can be useful for preventing abuse or denial-of-service attacks.

The plugin integrates with Hasura DDN as a pre-parse plugin. It uses Redis for keeping track of the number of requests made to the supergraph.

Key benefits of the rate limit plugin include:

• Enhanced security: Prevent abuse or denial-of-service attacks.
• Flexibility: Supports dynamic configuration including using roles, headers (can be used for IP-based rate limiting) and session variables.
• Integration: Works as a pre-parse plugin, ensuring easy integration with Hasura DDN.
