September 21 - Incorporating New Throttling Features into Your Business
Rather than being limited to a handful of uniform policies, the new throttling engine in WSO2 API Manager 2.0 offers a rich set of features that allow quotas to be defined with a greater level of detail. This webinar will explore how these capabilities can be used to
- Throttle requests based on bandwidth.
- Specify quotas based on custom attributes, such as Internet protocol (IP) ranges, JavaScript Object Notation Web Token (JWT) claims, query parameters, and HTTP header values.
- Write customer throttle policies based on the Siddhi SQL-like query language.
- Block API calls almost instantaneously to improve the reaction time of a system allowing quick action to be taken against malicious attacks.
Jointly presenting will be Amila De Silva, an associate technical lead at WSO2, and Harsha Kumara, a senior software engineer at WSO2. The webinar is being held Wednesday, September 21, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT.
