Upstash Ratelimit Strapi Integration

Strapi is an open-source, Node.js based, Headless CMS that saves developers a lot of development time, enabling them to build their application backends quickly by decreasing the lines of code necessary.

You can use Upstash's HTTP and Redis based Ratelimit package integration with Strapi to protect your APIs from abuse.
