Traffic details pls. Just curious
We are getting DoSed. I deployed an update with stricter rate limits and things seem to be improved.

It's just one IP hammering the Mastodon API. But this has never happened before so I didn't configure rate limits. It was easy to fix.
The blue spikes on the right are 429 errors after applying rate limits.
Are layer 7 attacks possible? I assume so, but idk the codebase. Just curious if you can horizontally scale away that problem.
