Upstash Rate Limit TypeScript SDK

What it does

Practical guidance and examples for integrating Upstash's Rate Limit TypeScript SDK into serverless and Node.js applications. Includes quick start code, recommended algorithms (sliding window, token-bucket variants), and operational notes on pricing, cost, and traffic-protection patterns.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to add request throttling or abuse protection to APIs, serverless functions, or background jobs. It is useful for rate-limiting per-user or per-key, protecting endpoints from bursts, and selecting algorithm parameters for different traffic profiles.

What's included

• Scripts: none in the skill directory, but companion docs in sibling files (algorithms.md, methods-getting-started.md, pricing-cost.md, traffic-protection.md).
• References: detailed markdown files describing algorithms, feature flags, and pricing tradeoffs.
• Instructions: quick-start install and code snippet showing Redis client setup, limiter creation, and limit checks; guidance on choosing algorithms and applying limits in production.

Compatible agents

Best used by agents that can run code and read TypeScript/Node.js examples (Copilot/Codex/GitHub Code assistants, Claude Code, Gemini-like code agents).
