cds-rate-limit

A CAP plugin that applies a rate-limit pattern inside the CAP Node.js runtime, capping how many requests a caller gets where tenant and user are already resolved rather than at an approuter or gateway.

One of very few answers here: capping how many requests a caller gets is otherwise an approuter or gateway concern, and this puts it inside the CAP runtime where the tenant and user are already resolved.

Last released January 2024 at 0.0.6. The repository the package declares has been deleted — verified against the GitHub API, not just a failed fetch. The package is still on npm, so it installs; the source it was published from is no longer readable, which is a harder thing to discover than a stale version number.

History in the atlas3
  1. The maintainer's GitHub profile states that the account was archived (profile changed 2026-10-11); the repositories are gone and the package stays published on npm. His words, quoted and dated, in the field made for a maker's statement about an end; nothing written about the person.
  2. 404 from the GitHub API. Found by the first full run of scripts/check-links.mjs — the citation had a checked date and nobody had re-read it.
