What's Missing ​

Complete rate limiting documentation including:

  • Rate Limit Configuration

    • Limits per endpoint (exists in RBAC doc)
    • Sliding window vs. fixed window
    • Per-user vs. per-IP vs. per-org
    • Burst allowances

  • Response Headers

    • X-RateLimit-Limit
    • X-RateLimit-Remaining
    • X-RateLimit-Reset
    • Retry-After on 429 responses

  • Client Guidance

    • Recommended retry strategies
    • Exponential backoff examples
    • Rate limit monitoring from client side

  • Implementation

    • Redis-based rate limiting
    • Middleware implementation
    • Key structure
    • Cleanup/expiration

  • Exemptions

    • Superadmin bypass

Why Important ​

  1. API Stability - Prevent abuse
  2. Fair Usage - Ensure all users get fair access
  3. Cost Control - Prevent runaway usage
  4. Client Experience - Clients need to handle rate limits properly

Current State ​

  • Rate limits mentioned in RBAC doc
  • Redis used for rate limiting
