- aantix 10y agoIt's interesting, if their claim of " while not storing information about its users" is totally true, I guess request limits would be impossible without at least tracking the originating IP?
- epchong 10y agoIt does not seem to be limiting incoming requests by IPs. So IPs does not need to be stored anywhere.
- JD557 10y agoThey could limit requests by IP without storing them explicitly. They could use something like a count-min sketch to store how many requests a certain IP has executed, and clean the sketch every minute, for example. The limit would not be exact, though.
