Benchmarking is useful—but every public service should also be protected.

Implement request limits at your application or reverse proxy.

Recommended options:

• FastAPI Rate Limiting Middleware
• Nginx Rate Limiting
• Traefik Rate Limiting

Cloudflare's free plan provides excellent protection for most applications.

• 🛡️ Layer 4 & Layer 7 DDoS Protection
• 🔥 Web Application Firewall (WAF)
• 🤖 Bot Protection
• ⚡ Global CDN
• 🚦 Rate Limiting (advanced features depend on plan)
• 🔒 Recommended to hide your origin server IP behind Cloudflare

For small and medium-sized websites, Cloudflare is one of the easiest ways to improve availability and resilience.
