CONFIGURABLE HTTP REQUEST THROTTLING LIBRARY

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for deploying a configurable throttling library in a cloud platform that throttles requests according to fully customizable parameters across each origin and resource. An administrator can harness the full customization provided by the throttling library to specify increment, decrement, delay, threshold, expiration, and rejection policies. These policies allow administrators to specify parameters guiding throttling on a per-user and a per-resource basis, thus providing significantly enhanced configuration capabilities to the administrator to tailor the throttling to the unique requirements of their applications and the usage thereof.
