Service Mesh Rate Limit

Service Mesh Rate Limit is a networking traffic control that caps request volume over a period for east-west service communication. It uses identity keys, windows, and response policies so teams can protect services from overload while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used Service Mesh Rate Limit when a service called another service, so the team could protect services from overload before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
