Is there a way to mitigate a DDoS attack via the App

[fumulutanapay]

The server responded Http Error 500 since my app was bombarded by a ton of request, tried upgrading the App to a bigger plan but it doesn't help either. tried also contacting support but they said that they have security implementations as well but it didn't help too

Hi @fumulutanapay,
The current version may suffer under huge traffic, sometimes you may need to increase the plan and the number of instances to 3-4 machines of the highest tier in order to manage extreme spikes. (this really depends on how big the collection is in terms of hype)

That's why I'm working on a new version which solves that problem and has many advantages over v1: #48

It has already been used with success, but it's still in beta stage. I hope this will help you, please let me know.

Sure, I'll close this issue and migrate to v2. Thanks a lot!
