Rate Limiting Minimal APIs and Controllers the Right Way

Summary

The transcript discusses implementing user-specific rate limiting in .NET applications, focusing on how developers can control API request volumes for individual authenticated users. The technical demonstration covers creating rate limiter policies using fixed window algorithms, with a specific example of allowing five requests per minute per user. The practical takeaway emphasizes that rate limiting helps control server resource consumption, prevent potential denial-of-service attacks, and can support usage-based billing strategies by providing granular request management.
