  • I’m not exactly sure why a web server can’t handle legit web traffic, just because it’s a lot? I agree that smaller actors should be given a little breastfeeding but solving it on the other side is bad architecture. A legit request can never be compared to a a ddos attack, the overloaded net has to throttle and then the instances need to retry with a generous enough delay.

    Options for solutions to another systems problems are all going to introduce more problems. Sure, the requests could honestly be routed to a cache and it would help this problem, att least until it breaks or is exploited. But it would never be truly solved that way.
