Load balancer or application level rate-limiting. Cloudflare already deplatformed people: https://tech.co/news/cloudflare-removes-service-8chan-2019-08 https:/

  I’m not an expert but my understanding is that defending against DDOS requires immense infrastructure. Can a single site in its own achieve that with a load balancer or the rate limiting you mention?

    Depends on the scope and scale of the attack. If you put a proxy server in front of the actual application server (or a series of proxy servers that were lightweight/cheap to run), technically speaking you could control it. Not an expert either but have relied on mechanisms like that in the past to help with traffic control.
