Cascade Removed Rate Limiting Configuration
API rate limiting is disabled after Cascade removed rate limiting configuration. This exposes endpoints to abuse attacks. Users can make unlimited requests, potentially causing DoS or rapid data exfiltration.
Cascade likely removed @RateLimiting or rate limiting bean configuration thinking it was unnecessary.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Cascade removed @RateLimiting annotation from controller methods
- Rate limiting bean or interceptor configuration deleted
- Cascade removed rate limiting properties from application.yml
- Redis connection for distributed rate limiting removed or misconfigured
How to Fix It
Implement rate limiting using Spring Cloud Gateway or custom interceptor. Configure request limits per IP/user (e.g., 100 requests/minute). Use Redis for distributed rate limiting across instances. Apply stricter limits to sensitive endpoints (/login, /payments). Test rate limiting with load testing tools.

How do I implement rate limiting?
Use Spring Cloud Gateway RateLimiter filter or implement custom interceptor with Redis for distributed counting.
What's a reasonable rate limit?
Public APIs: 100-1000 req/min per IP. Authenticated: 1000-10000 req/min per user. Adjust for use case.
