Ratelimiting Your APIs With Redis (The Theo-Proof Way)

Looks like they've censored the password in the examples since you've uploaded this lol - that was fast

why are you selling upstash?

I'm assuming it's possible to use Upstash for rate-limiting and also for caching external API responses (Star Wars/weather API or whatever) at the same time... correct?

Excellent. I was searching about Redis and rate limiting. This is a good intro

this Ludwig wannabe be spittin

Bro, why using upstash when you have Redus Cloud lol?

came across the npx vercel command, thanks for letting me know that exists so I don't have to manually go to vercel and get the env secrets like a 0.01x dev pleb 😭😭

I can say this is 100% safe and easy to use! (Also wouldn't mind any future cracks lol)

This is actually so fucking cool, I'm gonna start using this

I am

That's some XGH methodology down here

too much work, with django it is soo easy.

“It doesn’t show it!”

**looks closer at the redis-cli connection string

edit: nvm he catches it like a minute later lol

what vs-code theme is he using?

What’s the difference between redis and dynamo? Why would you use one and not the other?

🔥🔥

So many things wrong with this video. Rate limiting in the application layer... probably not advice I would be giving out unless you are charging for an API and need precision usage limits. If all you are doing is spam prevention, this is best done as part of a firewall.. potentially a load balancer. Also, the usage of Redis for this is probably overkill if you are not concerned with precision rate limiting, just use application memory.

Such a click-bait...I like it

damn was expecting raid shadow legends sponser

That was really cool! I need to look into upstash

I've rate limited the Next API before with some express code I found and it was even simpler, what would the advantages be to doing this upstash redis method other than speed? Love the videos btw!

Shiiiit. It’s been a year since roundest?!

This is hilarious

Does it work? I can still spam it 😅

I am the guy who did the tabs vs spaces poll website in the stream of FreckleBytes. I tried to go with the same solution as you did here to avoid spammers, but i think the fanaticism for tabs/spaces is way bigger than pokemon, because someone somehow manage to spam the uptash redis app and make me hit the 10k max limit request daily 💀💀

This is useful, do more database stuff.

Where the heck are you finding these awesome shirts you wear?!?

2 times "My" and 1 time "I" in the title.

hey theo, im 21 and in school for CS, you've taught me so much about modern tech and SWE in general. Thank you so much man. Keep doing your thing! <3

Such a nice video! I often check out your videos to get some ideas I could share with my team in the educational sessions we have on a weekly or biweekly basis. This one will make an appearance for sure! Thank you for the content.

I did also noticed that your app did repeat some of the Pokémon when I tested it

This is so great! 🤣 I literally watched that video last week and visited the website and saw the Pokémon results had Zapdos at the top and was like "wha...?"

Railway redis all the way

viewers are a double edge sword lol

You need CrowdSec
