Module rate_limit 

Rate Limiting middleware for brute-force protection.

Provides configurable rate limiting to protect against brute-force attacks, DDoS attempts, and API abuse.

Spring Security Equivalent

Similar to Spring Security’s RateLimiter and integration with Bucket4j.

Example

use actix_security::http::security::rate_limit::{RateLimiter, RateLimitConfig};
use actix_web::{App, HttpServer};

let rate_limiter = RateLimiter::new(
    RateLimitConfig::new()
        .requests_per_second(10)
        .burst_size(20)
);

HttpServer::new(move || {
    App::new()
        .wrap(rate_limiter.clone())
        .route("/api/login", web::post().to(login))
})
