Rules to manage resources

The following rules enable you to manage the resources used by Service requests and provide a better experience for consumers:

  • The Request Size Limit Rule specifies the maximum number of bytes allowed per request. This is especially useful for endpoints with POST or PUT HTTP methods.
  • The Client Throttling Rule sets limits per client for a specified time window.
  • The HTTP Retry Rule adds retry logic.
  • The Response Cache Rule configures response caching. This can improve response times for the client and avoid overwhelming the server with repetitious requests.
