Struct RateLimitConfig 

pub struct RateLimitConfig {
    pub enabled: bool,
    pub max_requests: u32,
    pub window_seconds: u64,
    pub strategy: String,
    pub trust_proxy: bool,
}

Rate limiting configuration for Tideway applications

Fields

enabled: bool

Whether rate limiting is enabled

max_requests: u32

Maximum number of requests allowed per window

window_seconds: u64

Time window in seconds for rate limiting

strategy: String

Rate limiting strategy: “global” or “per_ip”

trust_proxy: bool

Trust X-Forwarded-For header for client IP detection

SECURITY WARNING: Only enable this if your application is behind a trusted reverse proxy (nginx, cloudflare, AWS ALB, etc.).

When false (default): Only uses the direct connection IP, ignoring proxy headers. This is safe but won’t work correctly behind a proxy.

When true: Trusts X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers. Only enable if your proxy is properly configured to overwrite (not append to) these headers, otherwise attackers can spoof their IP to bypass rate limiting.

Default: false
