Rate Limiting Not Enforced on API Endpoint
API has no rate limiting. Malicious users can spam endpoints with thousands of requests, causing DoS attack. Legitimate requests are throttled. API was designed but rate limiting was deferred as 'optimization' and never implemented.
No mechanism exists to slow down or reject excessive requests from single client.
Error Messages You Might See
No rate limiting on API
Endpoint vulnerable to DoS attacks
Spam requests not prevented
Common Causes
- Rate limiting not implemented at all, feature deferred
- Rate limiting framework installed but not activated
- Rate limit too high, effectively no limit
- Limit applies globally instead of per-IP or per-user
- No storage of request counts (memory resets, limit doesn't persist)
How to Fix It
Implement rate limiting: library (spring-cloud-gateway, express-rate-limit) or custom middleware. Limit by IP: 100 requests per minute. Limit by user: 1000 per day. Store counts in Redis for persistence across restarts. Return 429 Too Many Requests when limit exceeded. Include Retry-After header indicating when to retry.

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What's a reasonable rate limit?
Public APIs: 100-1000 per hour per IP. Authenticated: 10000+ per hour per user. Adjust based on use cases.
How to implement with Redis?
Redis INCR + EXPIRE on keys like rate_limit:ip:192.168.1.1. Increment on each request, check if > limit.
Should rate limit reset?
Yes. Common: per minute, per hour, per day. Use EXPIRE in Redis: EXPIRE key 60 (expires after 60 seconds).
