Rate Limiting with Hooks

Implement request rate limiting in the handle() hook to protect API routes.

Why Rate Limit

Protect APIs from abuse: brute-force logins, scraping, and accidental overload.

Implement in handle

Track requests per IP in memory or Redis and reject when over limit.

const counts = new Map();
export async function handle({ event, resolve }) {
  const ip = event.getClientAddress();
  const n = (counts.get(ip) || 0) + 1;
  counts.set(ip, n);
  if (n > 100) return new Response("Too many", { status: 429 });
  return resolve(event);
}
