Abstract
Systems and methods provide techniques for dynamic rate-limiting, such as techniques that utilize one or more of asynchronous rate-limiting, context-aware rate-limiting, and cost-aware rate-limiting. In one example, a method for asynchronous rate-limiting includes the steps of receiving a rate-limiting request for a service application; extracting one or more policy-defining parameters from the rate-limiting request; querying a local cache storage medium associated with the rate-limit decision node to identify one or more local rate-limiting policies associated with the rate-limiting request; determining, based on the one or more policy-defining parameters and the one or more local rate-limiting policies, a rate-limiting decision for the rate-limiting request; and transmitting the rate-limiting decision to the service application in response to the rate-limiting request.
