Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Your website just went down and thousands of users can't access it and you have no idea why. This is a DDoS attack. This is bad. Basically, when thousands of fake devices are sending millions of requests to your server all at [music] once, your system can't tell the difference between real users from attackers. So, your entire system just collapses. Nobody is safe from a DDoS attack. Any exposed API or a public server could be the next target. Here's how to protect yourself. Set up rate limiting.

[00:00:30]No single IP should hit your server more than a thousand times in a minute.

[00:00:34]Please use a load balancer. Spread the traffic so not a single server has to take the full hit.

[00:00:40]Monitor your traffic. Even a basic server log will show you a spike in traffic before you take the hit. And of course, keep your secrets and your API keys very, very safe. If you're building a product, please set this up today. It will save your product and thank me later.
