Broadcast Rate Limiting

⛔

Rate limiting helps you throttle client events, backend events, or HTTP REST API calls for read endpoints (like /channels) at the app level.
Choosing a rate limiter driver depends on the architecture the server is deployed in. For local, single-instance servers, the default local driver is sufficient. For multi-node deployments, a Redis server is typically required. If you choose to use Redis to store rate limiting data, please consult our documentation on connecting to Redis.
