Common questions

How fast is the proxy?

Sub-millisecond latency added. Deployed globally on edge. Most users see no measurable difference in API response time.

Do you support burst traffic?

Yes. Token bucket algorithm gives you predictable quota enforcement. Configure burst allowances per tier.

What's the setup process?

Add us as a reverse proxy (CNAME or nginx config), define rules in our dashboard, live in 10 minutes. No API changes required.

Can I get a dedicated instance?

Yes. Enterprise plans include on-premises deployment and dedicated infrastructure. Contact sales.

Want API Rate Limit Proxy for Indie Projects built out, or handed over?

This is not a purchase and there is no card field. It puts your address, this product, and whatever you write below in front of a person, and you get a written answer about what finishing it, or handing it over for you to run yourself, would actually take.

  • A person reads these. Expect a reply in days, not minutes.
  • Your address is used to answer you. No sequence, no list, no sharing.
  • Ask to be removed and you are removed.

Prefer the team to build it and run it for you? That is the operator partnership.
