How to Implement Token Bucket Rate Limiting In NestJS
Rate limiting is a crucial aspect of building scalable and secure web applications. It helps prevent abuse and ensures the fair usage of resources. In this blog post, we will explore how to implement token bucket rate limiting in a NestJS application with a reset interval of 24 hours. What is Token Bucket Rate Limiting? Token bucket rate limiting is an algorithm that controls the rate at which a system processes requests. The main idea is that a fixed number of tokens are added to a bucket regularly. When a request arrives, a token is removed from the bucket. If there are no tokens left, the request is rejected.
