Description

Move to a better rate limiting framework by offloading the functionality to the istio mesh: > Instead of a group based rate limiting that applies to all users and all endpoints, set the rate limit for individual clients and endpoints such as for /v2/snapshots, /v2/articles separately for the main API. The rate limiter will return http 429s when the limits are reached.
