The skill
Rate limiting for serverless and edge apps with the @upstash/ratelimit TypeScript/JavaScript SDK backed by Upstash Redis. Use when adding a rate limiter or throttling to an API route, Next.js middleware, Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, or any HTTP endpoint; returning 429 Too Many Requests; choosing between fixed window, sliding window, and token bucket algorithms; limiting per user, IP, API key, or tenant with prefixes and custom keys; protecting login, signup, form, or AI endpoints from abuse, bots, and brute force; using deny lists, ephemeral caching, analytics, timeouts, and multi-region rate limits; or estimating the Redis command cost of rate limiting. Also use when the user says rate limit, rate-limiting, throttle, quota, request limits, or traffic protection.
Rate Limit TS SDK
Quick Start
- Install the SDK and connect to Redis.
- Create a rate limiter and apply it to incoming operations.
Example:
import { Ratelimit } from "@upstash/ratelimit";
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";
const redis = new Redis({ url: "<url>", token: "<token>" });
const limiter = new Ratelimit({ redis, limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(5, "10s") });
const { success } = await limiter.limit("user-id");
if (!success) {
// throttled
}
