node-rate-limiter-flexible

Use this skill whenever working with rate limiting, brute-force protection, DoS mitigation, or the `rate-limiter-flexible` npm package in Node.js. Triggers include: mentions of 'rate limit', 'rate-limiter-flexible', 'RateLimiter', 'brute force protection', 'login endpoint protection', 'too many requests', '429', throttling in Node.js, or configuring limiters with Redis/Mongo/MySQL/PostgreSQL/Memory/Memcached/DynamoDB/Drizzle/Prisma/SQLite/Cluster/PM2/Etcd/Valkey. Also trigger when writing Express/Koa/Hapi middleware for request limiting, or protecting APIs and websockets from flooding. Use this skill even for tangential questions about rate limiting architecture, choosing a store backend, or scaling rate limiters in distributed systems.
