How can I throttle API calls in a Spring Gen AI app to comply with rate limits when deploying with AWS Lambda

Question

Is there any way to throttle API calls in a Spring Gen AI app to comply with rate limits when deploying with AWS Lambda?

Answer 1

In order to throttle API calls in a Spring Gen AI app deployed with AWS Lambda, you can refer to the following approaches:

Use AWS API Gateway for Throttling

• Configure rate limits (requests per second) and burst limits in API Gateway for your Lambda function.
• This offloads throttling to API Gateway.

           ​

Integrate Local Throttling with Redis

• Use Redis as a distributed rate-limiter for dynamically throttling API calls.

Throttle in Lambda with Time-Based Logic

• Implement time-window-based throttling logic directly in Lambda.

Hence, by using the above reference, you can throttle API calls in a Spring Gen AI app to comply with rate limits when deploying with AWS Lambda.
