Mature apps face problems with abusive requests like misbehaving users, malicious hackers, and naive scrapers. Too often they drain developer productivity and happiness. Rack::Attack is middleware to easily throttle abusive requests. At Kickstarter, we built it to keep our site fast and reliable with little effort. Learn how Rack::Attack works through examples from kickstarter.com. Spend less time dealing with bad apples, and more time on the fun stuff. Aaron Suggs is the Operations Engineer at Kickstarter, where he backs too many video game projects. He enjoys writing code that makes developers' lives easier, especially while wearing his grizzly bear coat. Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/FG0Q/
