Implement Rate Limiting in NextJS

I learned ReactJS and NextJS, but I am having trouble implementing rate-limiting/throttling in NextJS. I want there to be a limit on the number of times the user can access certain requests per period of time.

Update 2022-Jul-13: As of Next.js v12.2.0, middleware is now stable.

In the latest version of nextjs it is possible through https://nextjs.org/docs/middleware even though it is still in beta.

You can find examples here https://github.com/vercel/examples/tree/main/edge-functions

exist and answer for that on the next link.

  • looking into whether your serverless database offers any rate-limiting features.
  • if you have a reverse proxy available that has rate-limiting features, I'd use that.
  • since next.js API routes allow using existing connect middleware, you should be able to rate limit with one of the available rate-limiting middleware

And for the last alternative, you can add an express library into a nextjs middleware
