Introduction
In this article, we will write an endpoint using the Django REST framework with API Key throttling (rate limiting). We will first use Django default cache configuration Local Memory Caching for throttling and we will see that this method does not work for multiple workers
on gunicorn or multiple replicas
on Kubernetes. We will change the Django cache configuration to Redis to solve this problem. We will test throttling with the open-source load testing tool Ddosify.
