    Token-Bucket Throttling for Preventing API Exhaustion and Denial-of-Wallet Attacks

    In traditional web application security and microservice architecture, API rate limiting is a standard operational defense. Engineering teams deploy fixed-window counters, sliding-window logs, or basic leaky-bucket algorithms across API gateways to protect backend databases from traffic spikes, mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and enforce tiered subscription quotas. These conventional rate-limiting mechanisms assume that API callers […]
